Honorah Parker Rieper Quotes:

    Pauline Parker: Let's go for a walk down here. Come on, Mummy!

    Honorah Parker Rieper: Oh! No, I'd like a cup of tea, first. Come on!

  • Pauline Parker: I felt thoroughly depressed and even quite seriously considered committing suicide. Life seemed so much not worth the living and death such an easy way out.

    Honorah Parker Rieper: Love, you can still write to each other.

    Pauline Parker: Anger against Mother boiled up inside me, as it is she who is one of the main obstacles in my path. Suddenly a means of ridding myself of this obstacle occurred to me. If she were to die...

    Herbert Rieper: No arguments there, Dr. Hulme! All that time inside working on those novels of theirs. They don't get fresh air or exercise!

    Honorah Parker Rieper: I'm not sure what you mean, Dr. Hulme.

    Dr. Henry Hulme: Your daughter appears to have formed a rather unwholesome attachment to Juliet.

    Honorah Parker Rieper: What's she done?

    Dr. Henry Hulme: She hasn't done anything. It's the intensity of the friendship that concerns me. I think we should avert trouble before it starts.
