Tony Maudsley: Mr. Berry

Quotes 

• [Mr Berry has just stolen the clue to the treasure from Sally] 

  Mrs. Holland : Oooh, Mr Berry. This calls for a celebration. There's gin in the cupboard.

  Mr Berry : I signed the Pledge in Dartmoor, Mrs Holland. Alcohol is the cause of madness, hallucinations, softness of the brain and moral decay.

  Mrs. Holland : I think the damage is already done in your case.

  Mr Berry : Yeah, I was *formerly* very wicked - but I intend to lead a good life from now on.

  Mrs. Holland : Always excepting the odd murder or two.
