Why? Thomasina: Everything is turned to love with her. New love, absent love, lost love I never knew a heroine that makes such noodles of our sex. It only needs a Roman general to drop anchor outside the window and away goes the empire like a christening mug into a pawn shop. If Queen Elizabeth had been a Ptolemy history would have been quite different -we would be admiring the pyramids of Rome and the great Sphinx of Verona. Septimus: God save us. Thomasina: But instead, the Egyptian noodle made carnal embrace with the enemy who burned the great library of Alexandria without so much as a fine for all that is overdue.

Hannah: (Pause) If it's not too late to change my mind, I'd like you to go ahead. Bernard: I intend to. Look to the mote in your own eye! - you even had the wrong bloke on the dust-jacket! Hannah: Dust-jacket? Valentine: What about my computer model? Aren't you going to mention it? Bernard: It's inconclusive. Valentine: (To Hannah) The Piccadilly reviews aren't a very good fit with Byron's other reviews, you see.

Ink study by Henry Fuseli? Hannah: What about it? Bernard: It's not them. Hannah: (She explodes) Who says!? ) Bernard: This Fuseli expert in the Byron Society Journal. They sent me the latest... as a distinguished guest speaker. Hannah: But of course it's them!
