Episode Quotes

(Hyacinth is examining a letter just handed to her by the postman.)
Postman: What’s wrong now?
Hyacinth: I never like to handle these things too freely until I have some idea who it’s from.
Postman: Does it matter?
Hyacinth: It matters enormously! Some total stranger may have licked this envelope, not to mention the stamp. There may be some prepared to gamble with their health, but I think a certain reserve is called for against the tongues of strangers.
