Quotes 

• Lord Brideshead 'Bridey' : You're fond of wine?

  Charles Ryder : Yes, very.

  Lord Brideshead 'Bridey' : [pompously]  I wish *I* were. It's such a bond with other men. At Oxford I tried to get drunk once or twice - but I didn't enjoy it.

  [Sebastian and Cordelia exchange glances and crease up with silent laughter] 

• Cordelia Flyte : If you weren't an agnostic I should ask you for five shillings to buy a black god-daughter.

  Charles Ryder : Nothing would surprise me about your religion.

  Cordelia Flyte : It's a new thing that a priest started last term. You send five bob to some nuns in Africa and they christen a baby and name her after you. I have got six black Cordelias. Isn't that lovely?

  [Ryder looks utterly bewildered]
