• Maud Redwick : Don't think Ellen isn't going to know about it. You think I'd let her have you without knowing why? Without knowing that you didn't love her? Oh, no, darling. I'm not as noble as all that. Ellen may get well. If she does, she may wish she hadn't.

  Dan I. Pierce : Maud, If I thought you'd say anything to Ellen, I'd kill you.

  Dan I. Pierce : Do you? We'll see. Oh, don't worry. I won't *say* anything. Thank for the coffee, Dan.

• Ellen Pierce : [joyously taking in the winter scenery]  Oh, it's not real. I'm not real. Nothing's real!

  Dan I. Pierce : I am!

  Ellen Pierce : Oh, yes, you are. Thank heavens you are!
