Elsa Craddock : [In the Dean's office, confessing] Oh Marmaduke, how can you? We were foolish, but it was only a flirtation.
Wavertree : [confused] I'm awfully sorry sir, but I'm afraid this is all rather beyond me...
Dean of Cardinal : [impatiently] Now don't lie to me sir, Mrs. Craddock has freely confessed everything!
Wavertree : Everything?
Dean of Cardinal : Everything!
Elsa Craddock : Everything!
Wavertree : [catching on] Oh... oh, she has! Oh... heh heh... oh, whoo! What a relief, sir! Now I need lie no more!
Dean of Cardinal : Ah, then you admit it!
Wavertree : Yes, rah-ther sir! Every time! I'd have told you in the first place sir, but we Wavertrees always protect the lady in the case!
Elsa Craddock : [somewhat sarcastic] He has a natural power over women. Try to use it for good, Marmaduke.

Captain Wavertree : You know, she's the dead spit of the little baggage I was sent down for in '98. Who is she?
Wavertree : Elsa Craddock, Mrs.
Captain Wavertree : Well, there's your opportunity, my boy. I've been waiting for you to cut a dash you know.
Wavertree : Don't you worry, uncle - I'll soon be kicked out. I've been seeing quite a lot of her lately as a matter of fact.
Captain Wavertree : Oh, then you do inherit something from me after all.
Wavertree : Well, I'm hoping to.
