The Beguiled Quote

Martha Farnsworth: That dress is very becoming, Miss Edwina.
Edwina: Thank you.
Alicia: There might be other attractive shoulders here if we were all permitted to wear such dresses.
Martha Farnsworth: I wouldn't say it's entirely suitable to wear at a young ladies' school; though, we know Miss Edwina's accustomed to town society with different views. I would suggest that we - change the subject. And let Miss Edwina draw her shawl. [Edwina covers her bare shoulders with her shawl]
Martha Farnsworth: Yes. That will avoid anyones speculation on the subject.
