Lisa Dillon: Mary Smith
Quotes
-
Mary Smith : Martha! You must listen to reason!
Martha : Reason? Reason just means what someone else has got to say! I can talk reason when I've got a mind to, and I've got a mind to now.
-
Mary Smith : Martha, your loyalty does you credit and Miss Matty will be lost without you.
Martha : You're staying with her!
Mary Smith : I wouldn't dream of leaving! But I at least can pay my way here, with the allowance I get from my father. The truth of the matter is that Miss Matty is now going to have such a meager sum to live upon, she will not even be able to find the money for your food. Indeed, she will be hard-pressed to find the money for her own.
Martha : Is it as bad as that?
Mary Smith : It is every bit as bad as that.
