Quotes from
Cabman John Gray: You've made a disease of me, eh, Toddy?
Cabman John Gray: I am a small man, a humble man. Being poor I have had to do much that I did not want to do. But so long as the great Dr McFarlane comes to my whistle, that long am I a man.

Meg Camden: You may deny him, Toddy, but you'll not rid yourself of him by saying the devil's dead.
