Mrs. Miniver's reaction to the rose being named after her


I like the movie but one thing always bugs me and it is this - if someone names a rose after you, it would be an incredible thing. Mrs. Miniver forgets all about it until she goes to bed and tells her husband and his reaction is even worse - he tells her she forgot to turn the bathroom light out.

Thought it was a modesty thing. She didn't tell him she had apprehended the German pilot either, not right away at any rate.

Stiff upper lip and all that.
