Did you know that the 12th Lord Beldon was hanged?

Lady Beldon

He was beheaded! Such things happen in the best families. In fact, usually in the best families.

[to Lady Beldon who has just entered the railway compartment he is already sharing with Mrs. Miniver]

Good evening, Lady Beldon.

Lady Beldon

Good evening, vicar. Oh, oh, shopping's absolutely impossible nowadays! You can't get near the counter and when you do, they haven't got it and you pay twice as much for it.

[laughs]

What a wonderful description!

Lady Beldon
[to her servant]

Sit down, Simmons, and don't snip! [to the vicar] My dear man, I spent the whole afternoon being pushed around by middle-class females buying things they can't possibly afford.

Oh dear, that means me.

Lady Beldon

Oh no, much worse!
