Fidelia
- Anne Hilton: [Fidelia places presents under the tree] What are those, Fidelia?
- Fidelia: Mr. Hilton done sent these to me a long time ago and told me to put them under the Christmas tree just like we've always done.
- [gets choked up]
- Anne Hilton: Now, now, now, no tears, Fidelia. There's nothing to cry about.
- Fidelia: I can't help it. He sent me something, too. Mr. Hilton never forgot me, even when he was fighting them devils.
- Anne Hilton: He'll be so happy to hear that you're back on the old job again.
- Fidelia: Yes, ma'am. Miz Hilton, can I confide you something?
- Anne Hilton: Yes, Fidelia.
- Fidelia: Brig sent her daddy his gift just like nothing had happened.
- Anne Hilton: Of course she did. So did Jane. So did I.
- Fidelia: You all did that? Miz Hilton, I guess I just ain't on the right side of the Lord. I just ain't had the right kind of faith. But I will have. From now on, I'll be a true believer.
- Brig Hilton: Class president! Class pin-up girl. I heard all about how she got elected.
- Anne Hilton: Oh, that's not fair, Brig. Becky's a very bright girl.
- Emily Hawkins: She most certainly is. I would say that Becky's one of the brightest, and one of the most attractive girls in this town.
- Anne Hilton: Oh, I wouldn't go so far as to say that.
- Fidelia: No, ma'am!
- Colonel William G. Smollett: Well, isn't anybody interested in this cake? By the way, Fidelia, just what was the experimentation you referred to in connection with this cake?
- Fidelia: I tried something new. I bought it.
