Quotes10

  • Miss Froy: Everyone sings here. The people are just like happy children with laughter in their lips and music in their hearts.
  • Charters: It's not reflected in their politics, you know.
  • Miss Froy: I never think you should judge any country by its politics. After all, we English are quite honest by nature, aren't we?
  • Miss Froy: Some people've so little consideration for others, which makes life so much more difficult than it need be, don't you think?
  • Miss Froy: My name's Froy.
  • Iris Matilda Henderson: Did you say Freud?
  • Miss Froy: No. O-Y, not E-U-D. Froy.
  • Iris Matilda Henderson: l'm sorry l can't hear.
  • Miss Froy: Froy! lt rhymes with joy!
  • Iris Henderson: Then you are a spy!
  • Miss Froy: I always think that's such a grim word.
  • Gilbert: [Opening the door to the lavatory] Are you all right Miss Froy?
  • Miss Froy: [Speaking from the cramped lavatory] Yes, thank you. It's rather like the rush hour on the Underground!
  • Miss Froy: Bandrika is one of Europe's few undiscovered corners.
  • Charters: Yes, that's probably because there's nothing worth discovering, I should think.
  • Miss Froy: You're very welcome to what's left of the cheese. Of course, it's not like beef steak, but, it's awfully rich in vitamins.
  • Iris: [Following Miss Froy back to her compartment] Thank you for looking after me when I was - well, knocked out before.
  • Miss Froy: Never mind, dear. Now if I were you I'd try to get a little sleep. It'll make you feel quite well again! There's a most intriguing acrostic in the Needlewoman. I'm going to try to finish it before you wake up.
  • [Watches and then smiles as Iris closes her eyes]
  • Miss Froy: ln the six years l've lived here, l've grown to love the country. Especially the mountains. l sometimes think they're like very friendly neighbors. You know, the big father and mother mountains with their white snow hats. And their nephews and nieces, not quite so big, with smaller hats. Right down to the tiniest hillock without any hat at all. Well, of course, that's just my fancy.
  • Miss Froy: You can always tell a honeymoon couple. They're so shy.
