Share this quote on facebook Mrs. Dudley: I set dinner on the dining room sideboard at 6:00. Breakfast is ready at 9:00. I don't stay after dinner. Not after it begins to get dark. We live in town, nine miles.. So there won't be anyone around if you need help...
Eleanor: We couldn't even hear you.
Mrs. Dudley: No one could. No one lives any nearer than town...
Eleanor: No one will come any nearer than that.
Mrs. Dudley: In the night...

Share this quote on facebook Eleanor: Why do you need so many chains?
