Oscar: I am happy to be henpecked as long as you are doing the pecking. We’d have fun, Gladys. I know we would. I want us to be happy, very happy, and I believe we could be. [he kisses her hand] Don’t answer now, but just know that I love and admire you more than I can say. More than I’ve ever felt for any other woman.
Gladys: But you don’t know me, not really.
Oscar: I know you to be intelligent, and fine, and independent when you’re allowed to be and witty. You have every quality that I admire, truly.
Gladys: Shouldn’t you be saying the same things to my father?
Oscar: I’ll write to him.

The Gilded Age Season 2 Episode 1 Quotes

Mrs. Russell: Do you think the new Metropolitan Opera will succeed?
Mr. McAllister: Members of the Academy are very determined it should not, and if you jump that way, you’ll never take Mrs. Astor with ya. My advice would be to stick with her. She’ll get you into the Academy in the end.
Mrs. Russell: I’m not much good with “in the end.” Besides, nothing stays the same forever, and I can’t always be at Mrs. Astor’s beck and call.
Mr. McAllister: Why not? I am.

The Spring family has asked us to join them in their grief for Easter, so that is what we shall do.
