“ Jenny: To keep you company while waiting for Laura.Arabella: I've nothing to do with Cadwell.Jenny: And now, madam, pardon me for speaking so freely, there's a rumor about that you don't hate him—Arabella: Me?Jenny: All the world says that he loves you, at least.Arabella: All the world has lied, Jenny. It is true that certain understandings between people do result in passions. I hold myself no more guilty of loving him than of having inspired love. Really, when you hear such foolishness— But who can take pleasure in spreading rumors like that? Cadwell himself hasn't any part in it? ”

Quotes by Monsieur Baron
“ Cadwell: She isn't rich.Bendish: And her sister?Cadwell: She cannot stand the odor of tobacco.Bendish: The odor of tobacco? My God! Of all these ladies there isn't one over whom you haven't troubled my head. "Ah, Bendish, tell me she's totally charming. I will love her all my life. I will suffer a thousand deaths rather than even think of changing—" I hear you, I look at her, I examine her, I conclude you are right. The next day, I am a fool. She lacks a delicate heart. Her manners are rude; she loves you too much; she is jealous, or too indifferent; she cannot stand the odor of tobacco. ”
“ Olivia: Ah, Cadwell. I don't know if all you tell me is true. But I am sure I wish at least—Cadwell: (interrupting her and falling on his knees) Ah, madam! Permit me, I beg you, to throw myself at your feet. I conjure you in the name of the most lively tenderness of a passion which will never end to put me to the strongest test you can invent. Do you want Laura's letters? I abandon them to you. Do you want me never to see her again? I consent. Do you want me to smash her portrait before your eyes? I will do it. There's nothing I won't sacrifice. Command it! ”
