Anne of the Thousand Days quotes

ANNE: Among them there were- well, truly gallant men. Captivating men. Charmers. 
With an ease of carriage- and a way with women that . . . and I fell in love 
with none of them. I came home and promptly fell in love with a- a thistle. A
countryman from the north. With no graces at all. Can't dance. Can't sing. Can
hardly speak English.
PERCY: Can put his arm around you.
ANNE: Doesn't do that well. Not as well as I've known it done. But it's the one
arm I want- for some God-knows-what reason. You do everything badly- everything
awkwardly- and I love it the way you do it.
