Thomas Gainsborough
- Thomas Gainsborough: They're guessing everything from duchess to a baroness... I hope you won't tell anyone the truth, Hugh.
- Sir Hugh Marcy: I never tell the truth.
- Sir Hugh Marcy: I think I should be complimented, Thomas.
- Thomas Gainsborough: For what, please?
- Sir Hugh Marcy: For turning a little gutterbag into a duchess - a neat trick.
- Lady Susan Dowitt: The trick was having me around. Kitty could never have passed for a lady without my examples to guide her.
- Thomas Gainsborough: Permit me to remind you that if I hadn't found Kitty in the first place, and painted her portrait, none of this would even have happened. She wouldn't be a duchess and you wouldn't be in the foreign office, my dear.
- Sir Hugh Marcy: I think we should all congratulate each other.
- Brett Harwood Earl of Carstairs: Shall we stroll?
- Thomas Gainsborough: The duchess was just saying how tired she was.
- Kitty: Oh, I don't mind walking a little longer, Tom.
- Brett Harwood Earl of Carstairs: [to Gainsborough] Of course, if you're tired, then you go on back to the studio. I'll see her grace home.
- Thomas Gainsborough: I'm not at all tired.
- Brett Harwood Earl of Carstairs: I see. Suppose the three of us stroll?
- Brett Harwood Earl of Carstairs: It's a lovely evening. How did it happen you're not working, Tom? I thought you preferred to paint by candlelight.
- Thomas Gainsborough: Yes, I do. But I'm not in the mood tonight. Besides, I was strolling with the duchess. But I have no intention of leaving her to you.
- Brett Harwood Earl of Carstairs: Testy old genius, aren't you?
- Prince of Wales: Gad, how extraordinary. Why does such a charming creature throw herself away on such a bounder?
- Thomas Gainsborough: I don't know sir. He's so far beneath her.
