"Doing a scene is like opening a bottle. If it doesn't open one way, try another - perhaps even give it up for another bottle?"

Previous Quote

There was a little plate of hothouse nectarines on the table, and there was another of grapes, and another of sponge-cakes, and there was a bottle of light wine ... 'This is my frugal breakfast ... Give me my peach, my cup of coffee, and my claret.'

— Charles Dickens
