Popular Dialogues

"Clemson Reade: We haven't been able to make a definite plan since we met. Effie: Well, we went to Vermont for two weeks. Clemson Reade: Yes. Yes, that's right. To her grandfather's farm. For two wonderful relaxing weeks in glorious Vermont. Walter McBride: Tim'll be there in September. Clemson Reade: We spent *one* day there.

"Effie: [recites love poem to Clem] The night is filled with muted sounds / The air is still, but in the hush / The whispers of a thousand lovers. // You and I together here, to dream a thousand wonders / The night is still, we kiss, / And in my heart a thousand thunders."
