Second Childhood (1936)

Gretta Gould: Maid

Quotes 

• Hobson, the butler : I hope the mistress is in a good humor this morning.

  Maid : There's hardly a chance, she's always herself.

  Grandma : [enters]  I heard that.

  Maid : Ah! Good morning.

  Hobson, the butler : You're looking fine this morning, madam.

  Grandma : Don't lie to me. I don't look fine and I don't feel fine. And as for the morning being good, it isn't over yet.

• Grandma : Say, what's all this fuss: flowers and candles and things?

  Maid : Why it's your birthday.

  Grandma : What, again?

  Maid : 65 years young today.

  Grandma : Ouch! Take them away. Take them away! Flowers and candles are only fit for weddings and funerals. Don't like weddings, and I'm not ready for the other... yet! I hope.

• Grandma : Who let all that sunshine in here?

  Hobson, the butler : Sunshine is healthful, madam.

  Grandma : Pull down the shades.

  Maid : Yes, miss.
