Quotes 

• Miss Peabody : So boring for one to eat alone, don't you think?

  Edith Farnham : Yes, but I think perhaps I'd better for your sake. My little daughter has a very bad cold, and I'd hate to give it to you.

  Miss Peabody : Oh, my dear, I never catch cold. I'm bursting with health. Germs run away from me. Ah, hah, they actually run away.

  Edith Farnham : I'm sure they do.

• Edith Farnham : Oh, very cozy, no doubt. But the fact is, I've been buried with one man for several years, and now that I've dug my way out...

  Miss Peabody : Oh, divorced?

  Edith Farnham : Yes.

• Miss Peabody : Well, I feel as if I were looking at a ghost.

  Edith Farnham : Oh, I didn't realize I looked quite that bad.

  Miss Peabody : Oh, ho, no, my dear. You look enchanting - perfectly enchanting. But when I think that at this minute you might be lying beneath ten feet of snow stiff, but stiff.

  Edith Farnham : I didn't realize I had such a narrow escape.

  Miss Peabody : Just a matter of inches, my dear - just inches.

  [She gestures with her thumb and index finger] 

• Miss Peabody : The nice looking Mr. Blake. Uh, you really must let me introduce you to him.

  Edith Farnham : No, no thank you. I prefer not to.

  Miss Peabody : Yah hah! Mustn't be shy, eh heh heh. After all, you and he might have been buried together, uh heh, heh, heh - under that avalanche.
