Mrs. Dashwood: Pray forgive us, Mr. Farrars. My youngest is not to be found this morning. She's a little shy of strangers at present.
Edward: Naturally. I'm shy of strangers myself, and I have nothing like her excuse.

Edward: I wish to check the position of the Nile. My sister tells me it is in South America.
Margaret (under table): Pff!
Elinor: Oh! No! No, she is quite wrong, for I believe it is in Belgium.
Edward: In Belgium. Oh, surely not. I think you must be thinking of the Vulga.
Margaret (under table): The Vulga!
Elinor: Of course, the Vulga! Which, as you know, starts in-
Edward: Vladivostok, and ends in-
Elinor: Wimbledon.
Edward: Precisely. Where the coffee beans come from.
Margaret (climbing out): Ugh. The source of the Nile is in Abyssinia.
