Peggy Thorpe-Bates: Hilda Rumpole

Quotes 

• Hilda Rumpole : You're going to seed. You can't even keep a divorce case going.

  Horace Rumpole : [to Hilda]  Do you know *why* my divorce case collapsed under me? The clients were reconciled.

  Horace Rumpole : [to himself]  Because how ever awful it is, how ever silent and unendurable it is, how ever much they may hate each others' guts over the three-piece chintz-covered lounge suite, they can't stand to be alone.

  Horace Rumpole : [to Hilda]  Isn't that strange, Hilda? They'd rather have war together than a lonely peace.
