Quote context

[...]

- Oh. Perfume! Oh, thank you.

- It's nothing, just a bottle of perfume.

- And Ecstasy, too! Oh, you're all much too kind. I don't think I've ever met anyone so thoughtful...

- Oh, nonsense, child. We're so happy to have you and so anxious for you to enjoy your stay.

- Of course, there isn't much to do here, except tonight, we're bobbing for apples, and tomorrow the young folks have a treasure hunt, and Thursday's the charity bazaar.

- Then we rest up for a day. And the next day's New Year's that's the big event. And this year, we're having a real old-fashioned barn dance like the hicks we're supposed to be.

- That's all there is. Farmer's wives don't die of boredom any more, they die of heart failure!

- I declare, this is the best barn dance we've ever had.

- Yes.

- Oh, they dance beautifully together, don't they?

- That reminds me...

- What? Who?

- Jack and Miss Leander.

- Like they were made for each other.

- If you're hinting that John's in love with her, well... Well, he isn't, Emmy.
