- All during the war, we kept saying, Ben [husband Ben Lyon] and I, that when it was over, we would come back to Hollywood. But now we've been here, and we just have to be honest, this is no longer home. Home is back in London, because we went through the bombings with them.
- Believe me, jail is no joke. Still it isn't as terrible as I anticipated. I'm not surrounded by murderers and bandits. Why, there aren't any cooties, even. I thought all jails had 'em.
- Twelve men decided I was guilty of a breach of the law and here I am behind the bars, taking my medicine like a law-abiding person. Jail isn't as bad as I thought. The most terrifying part was just the thought of being surrounded on all sides by murderers and thieves and various and sundry sorts of criminals. That feeling has left me now, for I find everybody, even the other inmates, are just as nice and considerate as they can be. As to the courtesies of Sheriff Jackson and Jailor Lacy I have only the highest praise. One of my first visitors this morning was Justice Cox, who sentenced me for speeding. He brought me a beautiful bouquet of roses. I have the greatest possible admiration for him because he did only his duty in sending me here.
