Tom Stoppard Quotes
SEPTIMUS: My Lady, I Was Alone With My Thoughts In The Gazebo, When Mrs Chater Ran Me To Ground, And I Being In Such A Passion, In An Agony Of Unrelieved Desire
LADY CROOM: Oh ... !
SEPTIMUS:
I Thought In My Madness That The Chater With Her Skirts Over Her Head Would Give Me The Momentary Illusion Of The Happiness To Which I Dared Not Put A Face.
(Pause.)
LADY CROOM: I Do Not Know When I Have Received A More Unusual Compliment, Mr Hodge. I Hope I Am More Than A Match For Mrs Chater With Her Head In A Bucket. Does She Wear Drawers?
SEPTIMUS: She Does.
LADY CROOM: Yes, I Have Heard That Drawers Are Being Worn Now. It Is Unnatural For Women To Be Got Up Like Jockeys. I Cannot Approve.
