Mrs. Hughes:
I hadn't fully considered all the aspects of marriage, of what I was getting into.

Mrs. Patmore:
I don't understand. What aspects? You know each other better than most couples at the start. [They exchange glances] Oh, my Lord. You mean...?

Mrs. Hughes:
Yes. That is precisely what I mean.

Mrs. Patmore:
Well, there's nothing so terrible about it, is there? So they say. I wouldn't know, of course.

Mrs. Hughes:
Mrs. Patmore, look at me. I'm a woman in late middle age.

Mrs. Patmore:
Oh, don't say 'late'.

Mrs. Hughes:
I was not bad looking as a girl, if you can believe it.

Mrs. Patmore:
Very easily.

Mrs. Hughes:
But these days? I'm not sure I can let him see me as I am now.

Mrs. Patmore:
Perhaps you can keep the lights off.

Mrs. Hughes:
That is NOT helpful, Mrs. Patmore.

Mrs. Patmore:
Well, won't he feel the same? I mean, no one's clapped eyes on him without his togs for years, except the doctor.

Mrs. Hughes:
Good point. Very good point!
