• Grizel Dane : [very curious]  Proutie, who was Lark?

  Proutie : She was old Mr. Dane's ward, miss.

  Grizel Dane : Uncle Rollo's ward?

  Proutie : Oh, dear, no, Miss Lark was Mr. Rollo's father's ward, miss. She grew up with Mr. Rollo and all the Dane children.

  Grizel Dane : And you were here even then?

  Proutie : Oh, yes, miss. My old auntie was in service with Mr. Rollo's father. I remember Miss Lark well. One doesn't forget Miss Lark.

  [changing the subject] 

  Proutie : Dinner will be served at 7.00 miss. The General likes to dress.

  Grizel Dane : Good. It'll be a pleasant change, we're allowed to be feminine off-duty. Proutie, you haven't told me what happened to Lark.

  Proutie : Nothing happened to her, miss.

• Pilot Officer Pax Masterson : I used to play hide and seek in these rooms.

  Grizel Dane : How interesting since you never set foot here before.

  Pilot Officer Pax Masterson : Imaginary hide and seek. When I was little my aunt taught me where every room was. She wanted to know this house as she remembered it, she grew up here.

  Grizel Dane : Was your aunt by any chance called Lark?

  Pilot Officer Pax Masterson : Yes, Lark Ingoldsby. I was brought up by her. She made me promise to visit this house if I ever got to London.

  Grizel Dane : You begin to make sense.

• Grizel Dane : I sent him away.

  General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo : Then if I were you, I'd go and find him. Don't cheat yourself of love the way I did. Listen to me! Don't stop to bargain for happiness, for in one wasted moment, a door may close, a ship may sail, a train may leave, a man may die. Go after him or make your mind you'll never see him again.
