Thomas 'Tom' Ransome : I hope I'm not keeping you from your guests.
Fern Simon : Oh, they're not *my* guests. That's mother's idea of "high society." They're all excited because YOU'RE here.
Thomas 'Tom' Ransome : Really? Should I be flattered?
Fern Simon : They say dreadful things about you...
Thomas 'Tom' Ransome : [playfully whispers] What sort of things?
Fern Simon : That you're a drunkard, and a bounder, and a remittance man... They'll hang around you just the same, because your father was an earl.

Fern Simon : [Lady Esketh is giving away her jewels to Fern] But I can't take them.
Lady Edwina Esketh : Don't be an idiot. If you and Tom have children, your son might be the Earl of Nolan. He'd have a wife, and she could wear them to boring dinner parties, and tell how they'd been left to her by a shameless wench called Lady Esketh, who died in Ranchipur during the Great Disaster of 1938. We're such snobs at home. We like stories like that.
