Quotes

Sir John Holland : Lord Studholme has killed himself!
Princess Maria Amelia : Oh dear. That's rather spoiled the game hasn't it?

Princess Maria Amelia : After all, one can't eat a man's dinner and shoot him afterwards. Especially shooting him twice. That sort of thing isn't done.
-
Gen. Piddington : No use pretendin' that anyone's broken-hearted. The man was a rotter. Always has been.
Princess Maria Amelia : Yes, but why should the poor man shoot himself? That's what seems so odd to me...

Chiddiatt : Oh Dawson. I want you to go down to where the main switch is.
Butler : Yes sir.
Chiddiatt : And then, let me see, I'll strike the gong. You ought to hear that oughtn't you?
Butler : Should do sir.
Chiddiatt : Well, when you do, turn out all the lights in the house. Then after, let us see, about ten minutes, you turn them all up again. Get the idea?
Butler : Yes sir. Is that all sir?
Chiddiatt : Yes. That's all.
Gen. Piddington : Does that mean we play this infernal game in the dark, ma'am?
Princess Maria Amelia : All the nicest games are played in the dark, General.
