Quotes 

• Nancy Oliver : Gonna work on your tunes again tonight, sir? You're always working, aren't you?

  Gregory Anton : Yes. What are you doing with your evening out?

  Nancy Oliver : Oh, I'm going to a music hall...

  [starts to sing 'Up in a balloon'] 

  Gregory Anton : I've never been to an English music hall.

  Nancy Oliver : Oh, you don't know what you've missed, sir...

  Gregory Anton : And whom are you going to the music hall with?

  Nancy Oliver : A gentleman friend, sir.

  Gregory Anton : Oh, now you know, Nancy, don't you, that gentlemen friends are sometimes inclined to take liberties with young ladies.

  Nancy Oliver : Oh no, sir, not with me. I can take care of myself - when I want to.

  Gregory Anton : You know, Nancy, it strikes me that you're not at all the kind of girl that your mistress should have for a housemaid.

  Nancy Oliver : [flirtatiously]  No, sir? She's not the only one in the house - is she?

• Nancy Oliver : What's the matter with the mistress? She don't look ill to me. Is she?

  Elizabeth : I don't know. Not as I can see. But the master keeps telling her she is.

• Nancy Oliver : She's a tartar, ain't she?

  Gregory Anton : What do you mean by that?

  Nancy Oliver : Oh, you know, strict-like. I'm not gonna sleep in the same room with her.

• Nancy Oliver : She seems to be getting worse, doesn't she, sir?

  Gregory Anton : You will please not refer to your mistress as "she."
