Madame Marie von Eln: Don't cry, Anna, for me. It will be worse for him. My troubles are almost over and his are just beginning. Growing up is so difficult, Anna. The disappointments and the heartbreaks, the frightening problems, the menaces and cruelties of the world. How often have I wished that his mother will live or his father, or that I were his mother! It isn't fair that a young boy should be brought up by an old woman who will leave him when he needs her most.


--Maria Ouspenskaya (as Madame von Eln) in Kings Row

Madame Marie von Eln: I only know that you have to judge people by what you find them to be and not by what other people say they are.

Major Rama Safti: It has come sooner than I expected: several cases of the plague in the Sweepers Quarters. On top of that, half the water in Ranchipur must be polluted.
Maharani: Do what you can to keep the plague from spreading. Burn down the whole Quarter if you must.


--Maria Ouspenskaya (as ) in The Rains Came

Maharani: [Regarding what to do about Lady Esketh] I want to do the right thing. I'd trample her without mercy. But then, of course, I was brought up in the hills, where charity is a sign of weakness.

Maharani: What is Lady Esketh doing at the hospital?
Thomas 'Tom' Ransome: Every conceivable filthy and drudging task.
Maharani: Yes, I suppose Miss MacDaid would have seen to that.
