Quotes

  Bertha Dorset : Only if the women in question are slightly too eligible - or divorced.

  Judy Trenor : Gus!

• Judy Trenor : She *is* dangerous. And you are not nasty. And for always getting what she wants in the long run, commend me to a nasty woman.

  Judy Trenor : Oh, I am. It's much safer to be fond of dangerous people.

• Judy Trenor : Did you know his father made a fortune out of inventing a device which excludes fresh air from hotels?
