Horace Rumpole
- Lord Richard Sackbut: It's entirely a family matter.
- Horace Rumpole: I'm used to hearing about family matters. Murders are family matters - 9 times out of 10.
- [after leaving the opera, Rosemary Sackbut sees a group of vagrants sleeping at the side of the street]
- Lady Rosemary Sackbut: The trouble with going to the opera is you keep tripping over all these people tucking up for the night.
- Horace Rumpole: [sarcastically] Yes, terribly inconsiderate of them.
- Lady Rosemary Sackbut: [patronisingly] I suppose they really must enjoy it.
- Horace Rumpole: [sarcastically] Oh yes, of course. It's their annual holiday. They've been saving up for a nice warm spot over the kitchen ventilator.
