- Henry Acheson: You picked on me because I was headed for success. Stephen was pure charm and all failure. You loved him but you loved my prospects better.
- Evelyn Acheson: Why are you bringing all this up now? It's ridiculous to hear you call something love that I knew even at the time was mere youthful infatuation. What's it got to do with the child's behavior anyway?
- Henry Acheson: If you'd married Stephen as you really wanted to, Elizabeth might have been your daughter.
- Evelyn Acheson: Now I suppose you're blaming me because we never had a child?
- Henry Acheson: I blame you for swindling me into a loveless marriage. You chose me because I was a good choice as a husband, but you never gave me a single moment of that one indispensable thing: real love. Our marriage was bound to be barren. And your hatred of this child is the natural outcome of an unnatural life!
- Elizabeth Lorimer: Time To Dream: At close of day/The angels say/It's Time To Dream./The moonlit sky/So close your eyes. It's Time To Dream./ The falling star/Your very heart/Alights away/To wonderland/Where dreamers can play./ You'll make a wish/The wish you make/Will soon come true./For in your dreams/The world it seems Belongs to you. Like Cinderella you'll find The clouds are all silver-lined./So go to bed/My sleepy-head./ It's Time To Dream.

- Evelyn Acheson: I always thought I understood people--knew how to manage them. I'm not doing very well with an 11-year-old girl.
- Henry Acheson: Isn't it a bit early to say that? She only arrived yesterday.
- Stephen Lorimer: Who's Cassie?
- Elizabeth Lorimer: Aunt Evelyn's maid. I like her very much.
- Stephen Lorimer: But you're not too certain about her mistress, eh?
- Elizabeth Lorimer: Do you like Aunt Evelyn, Daddy?
- Stephen Lorimer: I admire her...
