Grizel Dane:
[very curious] Proutie, who was Lark?
Proutie: She was old Mr. Dane's ward, miss. Grizel Dane: Uncle Rollo's ward? Proutie: Oh, dear, no, Miss Lark was Mr. Rollo's father's ward, miss. She grew up with Mr. Rollo and all the Dane children. Grizel Dane: And you were here even then? Proutie: Oh, yes, miss. My old auntie was in service with Mr. Rollo's father. I remember Miss Lark well. One doesn't forget Miss Lark. [changing the subject] Proutie: Dinner will be served at 7.00 miss. The General likes to dress. Grizel Dane: Good. It'll be a pleasant change, we're allowed to be feminine off-duty. Proutie, you haven't told me what happened to Lark. Proutie: Nothing happened to her, miss.

Grizel Dane:
I sent him away.
General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: Then if I were you, I'd go and find him. Don't cheat yourself of love the way I did. Listen to me! Don't stop to bargain for happiness, for in one wasted moment, a door may close, a ship may sail, a train may leave, a man may die. Go after him or make your mind you'll never see him again.

Pilot Officer Pax Masterson:
I used to play hide and seek in these rooms.
Grizel Dane: How interesting since you never set foot here before. Pilot Officer Pax Masterson: Imaginary hide and seek. When I was little my aunt taught me where every room was. She wanted to know this house as she remembered it, she grew up here. Grizel Dane: Was your aunt by any chance called Lark? Pilot Officer Pax Masterson: Yes, Lark Ingoldsby. I was brought up by her. She made me promise to visit this house if I ever got to London. Grizel Dane: You begin to make sense.

[singing] "I'll list for my soldier/And follow my love..."
General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: [interrupting] Now I know why they call you "Lark". Lark Ingoldsby: [turning around] Were you there? Listening all the time? General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: You've grown up. Lark Ingoldsby: A little. General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: I didn't know you could sing like that. Lark Ingoldsby: You didn't know I was growing up either. General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: Do you know what happened to this room? Lark Ingoldsby: No. General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: It's full of light, sunshine and flowers.

Lark Ingoldsby:
We'll have seven children and a million pounds a year.
General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: What was that? Lark Ingoldsby: I was thinking when we were children. You've forgotten. General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: Shouldn't I share your thoughts? Lark Ingoldsby: We shall always be in love, won't we? General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: Always. Lark Ingoldsby: Even when we're old? General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: Even when we're old.

Lark Ingoldsby:
You'll listen to reason, not to me. The Danes have always listened to the reasons instead of their hearts.
General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: Let's not get angry. Lark Ingoldsby: I am not angry, I'm lost. Pelham is in love with me. I can't stay here and hurt him. General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: Pelham? Lark Ingoldsby: Selina knows that if you go without me I must leave this house, too. I can't wait for you, Rollo!
