Quotes 

• Lucy Muir : I'm expecting Mr. Fairley. We're having a picnic.

  Martha Huggins : [dismissively]  You mean he is.

• Lucy Muir : I feel so useless. Here I am nearly halfway through life, and what have I done?

  Martha Huggins : I know what I done, alright. Cooked enough steaks to choke an hippopotamus and kept the name of Huggins as fair as the day I found it.

  Lucy Muir : You've led a very useful life, Martha. I have nothing to show for all my years.

  Martha Huggins : I suppose you call Miss Anna nothing.

  Lucy Muir : Oh, heavens. I can't take any credit for her. She just happened.

  Martha Huggins : Yes. That's what my old mum always used to say. I was the 11th.

• Martha Huggins : [trying to comfort the weeping Lucy after Lucy's learned the truth about Miles, almost crying herself]  There, there... he ain't worth it, blast his eyes! He ain't worth it!

• Lucy Muir : Thanks, Martha, you're an angel.

  Martha Huggins : Ain't noticed any wings sproutin' lately.

• Martha Huggins : Never held with mourning myself. I always say life's black enough as it is without dressing in it, too.
