Quote context

[...]

- And, Rose, if I were you, I wouldn't commit myself one way or another. After all...

- Mother, for goodness' sake.

- After all, we know very little about him. Why, we haven't even met his folks.

- It seems to me that one little phone call is causing an awful lot of excitement in this family.

- Miss Smith, if I have to keep lying for your daughters, I'll have to have more money.

- Everybody knows but Papa?

- Your papa's not supposed to know. It's enough that we're letting him work hard every day to support the whole flock of us. He can't have everything.

- Mama, where's Tootie? I haven't seen her all day today.

- Agnes, did Tootie come home with you? No, Mama.

- Oh, I suppose she's working on the ice wagon.
