Quotes 

• Lewis : It's about this ungrateful woman who is married to this man of great charm, brilliance, and integrity. She thinks he won't let her be herself, and she feels stuck in a straightjacket when she ought to be out and about and taking the waters and finding herself. So one day, she ups and goes and finds herself out of her depth, but the husband comes and saves her, and then she realizes that he's really a wonderful chap.

  Elizabeth : Does he play cricket for England too?

• Lewis : Elizabeth, are you discontent?

  Elizabeth : I would be, but I don't feel I have the right.

• Elizabeth : [to Lewis]  You are a novellist, an imaginer of fiction.
