I know we've not yet discussed personal matters, but I will tell you something about my husband. I receive a letter from him nearly every day, and I haven't read one. They remain unopened in a pile because he lied to me and I deplore him. Even so, without him the nights are long and lonely. I can't imagine what they must be like without the man you truly love.

Greer [to Leith]

Mary: Are you wearing mink-lined boots?
Catherine: Well if I have to run I want to look good doing it.

I loved him, Catherine. And now it's done. And I loved him.

Mary
