• Reverend Candy : [incovenient visitor]  Hello, Primrose.

  [wedding ceremony arrangements with prim society matron Mrs Arkwright] 

  Primrose : Hello, Mr Candy.

  Reverend Candy : Um... how... may I help you?

  Primrose : I was wondering if you would listen to a poem?

  Reverend Candy : Ah, I'm afraid we're a little bit busy at the moment, but...

  Primrose : [quoting Elizabeth Barrett Browning]  Love me sweet with all thou art, feeling, thinking, seeing... Love me in the lightest part, love me in full being.

  Reverend Candy : We'll look at it later, Primrose. Uh, good day, Mrs Arkwright. Shall we say tomorrow at, uh, six o'clock?

  [she leaves, but he remains flustered by Primrose's presence] 

  Primrose : Why, Mr Candy, you've gone quite red.

  Reverend Candy : I'm not surprised, Primrose. Mrs Arkwright is chairman of the local watch committee.

  Primrose : Then we'll give her something to watch.

  [her hand brushing playfully against his jacket] 

  Reverend Candy : [ducks away even as the lady walks off]  Don't! Oh... you're making things very difficult. Come on.

  [he steers her off] 

  Primrose : [knowing full well the effect she has on him]  Love me sweet with all thou art, feeling, thinking, seeing... Love me in the lightest part, love me in full being.

  [he is even more flustered now] 

• Ma Larkin : [at dining room table]  How's the vicar these days?

  Primrose : [feigning]  How should I know?

  Ma Larkin : Because you seem to have become the poor man's shadow these last few weeks.

  Primrose : [adamant]  I have not.

  Ma Larkin : [smiles]  I worry about Mr Candy. He looks so thin. He needs fattening up.

  Primrose : [brightening up]  Do you think so?

  Ma Larkin : He needs a good woman to look after him. You know what they say? The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

  [giving Primrose an idea]
