Richard Anderson: Philippe de Valmorin
Quotes
-
Philippe de Valmorin : [about a revolutionary pamphlet] Well, what do you think of it?
Andre Moreau : Well, the grammar is appalling. On the first page you've doubled two negatives, split an infinitive and missed out three commas.
Philippe de Valmorin : Negatives, infinitives, commas... he prattles punctuation while France is in agony!

Philippe de Valmorin : Poor Andre.
Andre Moreau : Oh no, not 'poor Andre'. NEVER 'poor Andre'. If he finds and loses a father, falls in love with a maid, then discovers that the maid is his sister and all in the space of an hour. What of it?
Philippe de Valmorin : Andre, what did she say when you told her?
Andre Moreau : I told her nothing, nor shall I. The old man kept his secret secure during his lifetime, let him take it with him to heaven. I'll not betray him.
