The Underdowns Quotes

The Underdowns

Quote 1

Mrs. Underdown tried to make friends with Mother by complaining about her houseboy. [...] "Honestly, Orleanna, he would steal everything except the children." (2.7.4)

The Underdowns live in luxury, have an excess of food and personal comforts, pay their servants very little … and still manage to complain about them. Must be nice.
