Quote context

- A delightful surprise, my dear. Though no surprise to Mr. Craig. Let me introduce you. Mr. Craig, Mrs Grainger, your dream come true.

- Yes, she's the sixth person.

- Sixth person? Are you playing some sort of a game?

- Well, not exactly a game, my dear.

- Mr. Craig has been dreaming about you for years.

- Not only you darling, all of us.

- Come upstairs and take your things off.

- It's all perfectly simple really. It's just like your husband's hearse. I don't mean his hearse, I mean the one he saw when he was in your nursing home. Or the one Dr. Van Straaten said he didn't see.

- Oh, dear, I think I'd better start again.

- You see, Mr. Craig has been having the most frightful dreams...

- Penniless brunette laid on according to plan.

- How's that for evidence, Doctor?

- Naturally, you'll say it's a pure coincidence.

- Oh, you can't say that, Doctor.

- The odds are a million to one against.

- You know, I am a little indignant. I am driven to the conclusion it's all part of a very carefully prearranged plan. An extraordinarily elaborate practical joke at my expense.
