Siân Phillips: Ursula Mossbank

Quotes 

• Chips : Is my wife here?

  Ursula : Wife? Which wife, darling?

  Chips : She was called Katherine Bridges.

  Ursula : Katie? Of course she's here! Did you say 'wife,' darling?

  Chips : Yes.

  Ursula : Well, that would make you her husband, wouldn't it?

  Chips : Yes, it would.

  Ursula : Then she's not here, darling. She's nowhere near the place.

  [Chips starts to leave. Ursula stops him] 

  Ursula : That's what I was told to say, if you came in. She's in the kitchen, darling, making scrambled eggs.

• Ursula : Of course, you two are married or something, aren't you?

  Chips : Married, madam, and quite definitely not something.

  Ursula : I adore this man. When you're finished with him, Katie, lend him to me.

• Chips : I don't think I do know you.

  Ursula : You must be mad. What's your name?

  Chips : Arthur Chipping.

  Ursula : That's right. You take to drink.

  Chips : I do not take to drink, madam. Excuse me.

• Katie : Ursula, darling, you must see the bell tower. And here's your guide (pointing to Herr Staefel).

  Ursula : The bell tower? (realizing Katie's unspoken intention) Oh, yes, of course... the bell tower! (Laughs) Later...

  Staefel : I hope you like early English perpendicular.

  Ursula : Darling, I revel in early English perpendicular!

• Ursula : Oh, but I adore English public schools! I simply worship them all! Even that idiotic Westchester... where you can't ask a boy out to tea without everyone asking the most extraordinary questions.
