Sabrina Fair Quotes

“Once upon a time, in a part of America called the North Shore of Long Island,
Not far from New York,
Lived a very small girl on a very large estate.
The house on the grounds had many rooms, and many servants,
And in the garage were many cars,
And out on the water were many boats.
There were gardeners in the gardens,
And a chauffeur to drive the cars,
And a boatman who hauled out the boats in the fall
And scraped their bottoms in winter
And put them back in the spring.
From the windows of her room
The girls could look out on an indoor tennis court
And an outdoor tennis court; an indoor swimming pool
And an outdoor swimming pool
And a pool in the garden for goldfish.
Life was pleasant here,
For this was as close to heaven as one could get
On Long Island.
But then one day the girl grew up
And went beyond the walls of the grounds
And found the world.”
― Samuel Taylor, Sabrina Fair

“Sabrina Fairchild is about David's age, and will look very much as she does now when she is very much older, for she is one of the lucky ones in whom youth and age will never be measured by days and years.

She is beautifully and tastefully and expensively dressed in travelling clothes that show off a very good figure. No one could look more chic. She is not pretty, but her face is appealing and bright with animation and reflects the inner glow of a girl in love, for Sabrina Fairchild has fallen in love with the world and is carrying on a passionate affair with it. Now, as we first see her, her face is a galaxy of complicated emotions. She is eagerly happy to see these people whom she adores, but she is shy, too, for they are not her family, and the past five years have not altogether dissipated the shyness that was ingrained from childhood. This trace of shyness, however, is not apparent to the people who watch her come towards them.”

“If the Mermaid wants to see us we’ve only got to go down and say ‘Sabrina fair,’ and she’s certain to turn up.”

“Mother claimed that “Sabrina” was one of the happiest theatrical experiences of her career.”
― Brooke Hayward, Haywire
