Crofter's Wife
- Crofter's Wife: Do London ladies look beautiful?
- Richard Hannay: They do. But they wouldn't if you were beside them.
- Crofter's Wife: [to Hannay as her husband walks in] You ought not say that.
- Crofter: What ought he not to say?
- Richard Hannay: I was just saying to your wife that I prefer living in town than the country.
- Crofter: God made the country. Is the supper ready, woman?
- Crofter's Wife: Aye.
- Richard Hannay: I've never been to Glasgow, but I've been to Edinburgh and Montreal and London. I'll tell you all about London at supper.
- Crofter's Wife: John wouldn't approve of that. I doubt.
- Richard Hannay: Why not?
- Crofter's Wife: He says it's best not to think of such places and the wickedness that goes on there.
- Crofter's Wife: I'm from Glasgow. Did you ever see it?
- Richard Hannay: No.
- Crofter's Wife: Oh, you should see Sauchiohall Street with all its fine shops - and Argyll Street on a Saturday night - with the trams and the lights - and the cinema palaces and their crowds. And it's Saturday night tonight.
- Richard Hannay: What will happen to you?
- Crofter's Wife: Oh, I'll say I couldn't stop you.
- Richard Hannay: He'll not ill treat you?
- Crofter's Wife: No. He'll pray at me, but no more.
