Sir Joseph
- Sir Joseph, Counsel for the Prosecution: M'lord, I would like to have an opportunity to consider what bearing this has on the case: I've just been informed that the witness Latour has done away with himself.
- Sir Joseph, Counsel for the Prosecution: She had patience. She could wait. This was, indeed, no ordinary woman.
- Sir Joseph, Counsel for the Prosecution: The odd thing, ladies and gentlemen, is that outwardly this woman was a model of patience. But, heaven knows what sultry fires were banked within.
- Sir Joseph, Counsel for the Prosecution: This woman, the Prosecution contends, is no ordinary woman. She had patience. She could wait. This was indeed - no ordinary woman.
- Sir Joseph, Counsel for the Prosecution: Mrs Paradine, did you think Andre LaTour very handsome?
- Mrs. Maddalena Anna Paradine: Of course not. He is a servant. How could I consider him in that way?
- Sir Joseph, Counsel for the Prosecution: Why did you wait until that night to tell your husband?
- Mrs. Maddalena Anna Paradine: I was ashamed.
- Sir Joseph, Counsel for the Prosecution: Why should you be ashamed? It wasn't your fault.
- Mrs. Maddalena Anna Paradine: Of course not.
- Sir Joseph, Counsel for the Prosecution: Then why be ashamed? Was it your modesty that held you back? Remembering your past? Would you say that?
- Anthony Keane, Counsel for the Defense: My Lord, I protest against that insinuation. There's been nothing in the evidence that reflects on the witness' past.
- Sir Joseph, Counsel for the Prosecution: My lord, there was no insinuation. I merely tried to convey that a lady of her, what, to use her own words, her unattractive past, need hardly have refrained from appealing to her husband on the score of maidenly modesty.
