• Margaret 'Peg' O'Connell : What did you want to talk about?

  Margaret 'Peg' O'Connell : So does whisky, me father says.

• Alaric Chichester : Seriously, Margaret, you know something of love.

  Margaret 'Peg' O'Connell : Yes. Perhaps I know more about it than anybody else in this house, this night. It's a feelin' that makes you miserable one minute and wildly happy the next. It brings sorrow to you, sometimes. But, it's also the only thing that puts wings on the heart of you.

  Alaric Chichester : Can't say I ever felt those symptoms, exactly. I presume it attacks different people in different ways.

• Alaric Chichester : Who do you think it is?

  Margaret 'Peg' O'Connell : I dunno.

  Alaric Chichester : Guess.

  Margaret 'Peg' O'Connell : I couldn't possibly guess who'd marry you, Alaric.

  Margaret 'Peg' O'Connell : The same. We'll take 'em me father's old suit. Oh, we'll have a grand time travelin', we will.

• Margaret 'Peg' O'Connell : I am not be takin' Mrs. Chichester to Timbuktu. I might send her.
