Aunt Hortense: My goodness! Anyone we know?

Aunt Hortense: [Going with Mimi to check into the hotel] Oh, Egbert, are you coming with us?

Egbert Fitzgerald: What? Hortense, oh my. You can't remain with her. This is supposed to be a clandestine affair. You can't have a clandestine affair between three people!

Aunt Hortense: [laughing] Oh, that's what you say!

Aunt Hortense: Be feminine and sweet. If you can blend the two.

Aunt Hortense: [to Mimi] I do adore Paris. It's so much like Chicago... It's such a relief when you travel to feel that you've never left home at all.
