"This complicates matters."
"It is indeed kind of you to come."
"I have no time for trifles."

"You may entirely rely on me."
"I am impatient to be gone."
"I cannot possibly fathom what you are talking about."
"Let me hail a passing cab and we can be away."
"Heaven bless you."
"We are on a hunt."
"Glad to meet you."
"In these days of nouveaux riches, it is good to see an old country family restore the grandeur of the line."
"Are you well?"
"What sort of night is it?"
"You have much to answer for."
"How can I assist you?"
"How long will it take you to make up your mind?"
"I have no feelings on the matter."
"The world is full of oblivious things that no one ever observes."
"This is my special hobby."
"There is danger."
"Be ready in an instant!"
"Are you mad?"
"I shall not be played for a fool."
"You look very serious."
"Surely you will stay and have some dinner?"
"Give me another mouthful of that brandy."
"Know your place."
"This matter is too serious for any hesitation."
"This is very deep business."
"Is there immediate danger?"
"I cannot say. It is a private matter."
"I seem to have dropped into a council of war."
"The plot thickens."
