Second Honeymoon (1930)

Josephine Dunn: Mary Huntley

Quotes 

• Edith : Mary, what's the matter?

  Mary Huntley : Why nothing, Edith.

  Edith : Oh, yes there is. And what's more, it's about Jim. I've known ever since I arrived on this visit something was wrong. And just because I'm Jim's cousin, there's no reason why you shouldn't tell me.

  Mary Huntley : You're right, Edith. It's Jim. He doesn't understand me. I've always advised women not to talk about their private troubles. But somehow with you it's different.

  Edith : Of course it is, Dear. Why, we've known each other for years. Why, you're like a sister to me.

  Mary Huntley : Jim's wonderful; just wonderful.

  Edith : But he doesn't understand.

  Mary Huntley : Five years, Edith. Five years I've stood it.

  Edith : Yes, Dear. Tell me.

  Mary Huntley : Romance has gone. And when you've lost that, I'd just as soon be dead.

  Edith : Of course.

  Mary Huntley : I'll be getting old soon. I'm not going to stand it. Jim and I have come to the end. I'm going away somewhere. Anywhere.

• Mary Huntley : Oh Pat, how far you said the Cabin was ?

  Maj. Pat Lovering : About 30 miles, as the crow flies.

  Mary Huntley : And how far in this thing

  Maj. Pat Lovering : Oh about 45 miles.

  Mary Huntley : I wish I had taken the crow.
