  Aimée : No. I don't think so.

• Molly Gibson : It's the one you did a drawing of.

  Roger Hamley : You remember?

  Molly Gibson : Of course I remember. I remember everything you wrote in your letters. How could you think I wouldn't?

• Molly Gibson : Cynthia, don't. Your husband this morning and mine tonight? What do you take him for?

  Cynthia Kirkpatrick : A man.

• Molly Gibson : [Molly to Roger when she sees him for the first time since his return home from Africa]  I wondered if I'd recognize you. Papa said you had a beard.

  Roger Hamley : Oh, no, no I don't.

• [the scene in the rain] 

  Roger Hamley : I couldn't go. I couldn't go without... Molly, do I still have any chance with you?

  Molly Gibson : Yes.

  Roger Hamley : I've been such a fool I know - yes?

  Molly Gibson : Yes!

  Roger Hamley : I had so much I'd prepared to say to you. I should have seen that it was you that I truly loved even before - d'you mean it?

  Molly Gibson : Yes!

  Roger Hamley : I musn't come any closer, I promised your Father.

  Molly Gibson : Yes, I know!

  Roger Hamley : Molly, dear Molly, will you be my wife?

  Molly Gibson : Yes! Yes I will, Yes!

• Molly Gibson : He gave me a wasps nest as a present once.

• Lord Hollingford : Do you know our guest of honour?

  Molly Gibson : Yes, he's a very old friend.

  Lord Hollingford : Is he very awe-inspiring?

  Molly Gibson : No, not at all. He's very kind and not at all like anyone I know, he gave me a wasps nest as a present once.

• Roger Hamley : My father's very angry with you.

  Molly Gibson : Angry with me?

  Roger Hamley : Only because you came here instead of to us at Hamley.

  Molly Gibson : Well Lady Harriet wanted me and I don't know why but there's no refusing her.

• Squire Hamley : So you've come a-visiting though you've been up with the grand folks. We thought you were going to cut us Miss Molly.

  Molly Gibson : They asked me and I went, now you've asked me and I've come here.

  Squire Hamley : And which do you prefer.

  Molly Gibson : I don't think I should answer that.

• Roger Hamley : Molly, it's the stuff I had sent home from Africa, it's just arrived. I thought you'd be interested.

  Molly Gibson : I am interested.

  Roger Hamley : Well come on then.

• Aimée : I think Roger likes you very much.

  Molly Gibson : There was a time we were like brother and sister.

  Aimée : No. I don't think so.

  Molly Gibson : You don't understand, he was engaged to my sister, my step-sister.

  Aimée : He made a mistake I think.

• Cynthia Kirkpatrick : [dismissing her fiancé]  I want to talk to Molly now, not you.

  [to Molly] 

  Cynthia Kirkpatrick : What do you think?

  Molly Gibson : Do you like him enough to marry him?

  Cynthia Kirkpatrick : I do. At least, I think I do. I told him I wasn't very constant but he says he likes me the way I am. So you see he has been fairly warned. I think he is a little afraid though, he wants us to be married very soon.

• Roger Hamley : Sir Charles Morton. Have you known him long?

  Molly Gibson : No, not long at all. Lady Harriet asked him to take care of me and he does whatever she asks him.
