- Prince of Wales: Where's Blakeney? Hasn't he any more cravats to show me?
- Sir Percy Blakeney: [Sir Percy Blakeney enters holding a cravat] What about this one, sir?
- Prince of Wales: How many cravats do you own, Blakeney?
- Sir Percy Blakeney: One thousand three hundred and twenty nine, to be precise. No, it is not the right time of day for the mulberry.
- Prince of Wales: Oh, I agree.
- Lord Richard Hastings: How about the green?
- Sir Percy Blakeney: Green is exceedingly outmoded. No gentleman is wearing green today.
- Prince of Wales: Quite so!
- Sir Percy Blakeney: Well, if you ask me, I should say the lilac with the white spots. It is restrained but it has a touch of spring about it which renders it suitable not only to the season, but to the wearer.
- Prince of Wales: You're a shocking fellow, Blakeney, but you're always right!
- Sir Percy Blakeney: You're too amiable, sir.
