Her Private Affair (1929)

Lawford Davidson: Arnold Hartmann

Quotes 

• Vera Kessler : Well, do you - do you want to give me my letters now - or must I pay Cash On Delivery?

  Arnold Hartmann : You needn't quite make me out a blackmailer.

  Vera Kessler : I don't blame you for thinking me a fool after the way I behaved in Italy. But, I'm not altogether an idiot. You asked for a loan, you hinted at a threat. There was really no mistaking what you meant.

• Vera Kessler : How I ever could have become infatuated with you?

  Arnold Hartmann : The fact remains, dear lady, you did. Very much.

  Vera Kessler : In Pesaro, I was a fool! I was mad!

  Arnold Hartmann : Oh, you're not the first neglected wife to lose her head.

  Vera Kessler : But, I didn't! Thank heaven I came to my senses before anything happened between us. I can always be grateful for that, at least.

• Arnold Hartmann : You know, your new role as the faithful, loving wife, I must say, is rather amusing.
