Thank you, Prince.

Good morning.

P, K, K, K, K, K, K.

And this Captain Brains dinner party.

Mrs. Trotter will be preparing the popiots at self,

so almost get everything else ready in good time.

Lord Branch just don't want these parties for his dinner tomorrow.

I'll take them out to the hardw Rethal and don't hang them up, will you?

And Mrs. Cavendon's just to write.

This is arm Prince, Ripper.

S, though he usually is.

Is he?

Yes, of course he is.

Did you get his room ready by a letter at this morning?

It's a nip nip afterwards and put a bunch of many girls in there

I'm a sir like having mr. Prince day myself the really nice young chap not a bit aside on him

He's about to summon them showers. He'd be on the street let alone the car

Anymore tea left in that pot mrs. Cockroony

Come in mr. Prince we were expecting you mrs. Cockroony mrs.

Cockroony mrs.

The merriman no violet back again then that's right. I was my best girl then anybody's best girl

Sit down mr. Prince. We just made a fresh but for without the dinners would have dropped more at water in it

The rest of the day how long is day this time or do you know mr.

Merriman not long if I know my old lady she's always on the move you're off to Italy this time aren't you that's right Mary

My name's got an idea. She might buy a villa down there some people have all the luck. I would want to leave nearly myself

Never liked I twice as I had that turned up with an Italian cobblest a suite

Swiped my order of frequency to what I needed I pulled it over. He's a

I never met any Italians set the okey-pokey man. Oh, they're not so bad. They thought the world of madam at that

Hotel in Florence

This is coming to the nephew back again, that's right Mary

It was everything on our belly now including the champagne and you don't choose the cheapest neither

Well, I suppose madam not having any children of her own. She naturally thinks of him like a son

It's nice to see you looking so well

I'll put a light on I think by the way, I decided to go into a nursing home to have that little operation after all

Oh, dear. I know I don't like hospitals anymore than you do

And they're like a child

For a day or two, but don't stay there too long. You know my husband was a magistrate

He used to say three months gives them a good lesson six months teaches them too much

I hope you're not gonna be in that nursing home for six months. Oh

The doctor thinks about a week and then back here to recuperate before I go to Italy

I'd like Prince to stay on here in the hotel while I'm in the nursing home. Yes, of course

And how about young Eddy? Oh

Well, yes, I suppose sir. You saw that young man. Mrs. Covenant. I know I think perhaps I'm sorry for him. Sorry for it

Well, I

Don't think I'd like to have my sister as a mother would you I?

Can't imagine why she needs a biller in Italy. She hardly wants to live in Bradford

There are perfectly good pinciades in Florence. It's so

Exasperating she managed that dreadfully vulgar man and goes to live in that appallingly vulgar place

The only thing that makes it remotely tolerable is that he had a great deal of money

And ever since he died she's gone out of her way to squander the money and every wish can think of I really think she does it despite us

Yes, but she's still quite well off Mars and she she wouldn't call me ma. I don't know where you get these low

conditions I'll call you ma ma if you like but I really believe it went up with the arc

Or perhaps I should say down with the arc except that I believe the arc floated so really we are left exactly where we were

I must say I hope I'm to come down with handsome this time. I'm stony broke. I can't imagine why she doesn't give you a regular allowance

She knows how little your father and I can afford

Well

We'd better go and see what she wants to do this evening

Did you remember to get some flowers for her? Oh, no, I forgot never mind if we go to the theater. I'll buy her some chocolates

Now what shall we go and see friends will get the tickets for us I?

Didn't order champagne merriman. No, I did aren't you thought of the cheer you up? Oh?

Thoughtful off you 80. That's right, aren't you only too pleased. Thank you merriman

Very good, sir

How about gay latharo the Empire this is frightful funny

And would you know I did test the Empire?

Prince what do you suggest?

Prince always chooses my books for me at moon is library. There's bunty pulls the strings at the haymarket madam

Sounds as though it might be the kind of play you'd enjoy. Oh, is that still all I thought I'd missed it and the haymarket is my favorite theater

We'll go there

Well, Prince some epoxy may have one if not three seats in the dress circles or

Do you think miss Prentice would like to come? It's rather short notice. She probably has another engagement by now

You know Eddie. I can't imagine why you don't fix your interests with that young girl

I think she's quite charming, but unfortunately she has an opinion

Hmm Eddie intends to marry for money. Does he well not exactly aren't he?

But I think I shall have to marry where money is so well in her I can't see her living in a pokey little flat in Pimlico

Well, I don't think she's as Muslim as

As you think very well then Prince three seats or a box

Yes, you didn't ask if Arthur would like to come. Oh, do you think he would know he's dining at his club? Oh

You asked me to remind you about that invitation madam. Oh, yes, Prince. Thank you

I'll scribble a note now and then you can take it round

Get a box of chocolate Prince would you and bring them up to my room something really nice from rumble mayazz

Yes, sir. Oh take it out of that would you?

Be sure to let us know

Well, Prince will be calling morning in the evening to see if there's anything I want won't you Prince? Yes, madam

Oh, will you be requiring your writing case madam? Oh Prince had clever of you course I share I

Mean to catch up with all my correspondence during the next few days

Mary would you I have it here? Thank you. Oh

Mr. Star would you put this on the front seat the right way up and stay with it

It's got some of madam's value wasn't right. Are you staying there too long?

You can look after you much better here. Yeah, this is not I know you will and where is Eddie? Oh?

He's gone to the races with the major. Yes, of course. I had a little present for him, but

But perhaps you would give those cigars to mr. Sturgis for me would you yes, madam?

Well, goodbye everybody. Goodbye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Come to it. Don't give us up

Thank you, star

Thank you, Prince

The large fence is one of the counter fallen my dear mate crossed its legs and curts into the stands

All the other horses were out of sight by that time

Take these will be started. Oh and get four tickets for the Empire tomorrow night. This would fill up very good, huh?

I don't know stay

Be glad to hear on cut off to the hospital all right. I do yes

I meant to see the old girl off, but the major had a hot tip for the first race looks like a good one of the three thirty tomorrow gay

Lotharia oh gay Lothario. That's the blame. I won't go and see it's probably gonna lose then we're going tomorrow night instead

So it might not you think you can get away with anything don't you suppose you want some wine?

Mmm, Louis up your an angel. Yes, amen. You're better some wine very good better

Yes, if there was a cup inscribed book his friend, I don't know who David on his mental piece in all the major

I bet mr. Sturgis. He's not playing with his old money

There if you don't fancy that she won't fancy anything mrs. Trotters grouse in us big alla Louise and even I don't know the recipe

How was she when you saw her?

I'm taking no to who I should say so she noticed the ribbon on a nightgown was freed

And I've been up and down Oxford Street trying to match it

Wait no big shop fine ribbon course I did you think she bring her ladies made with her

Oh, she hasn't got one just now

She fell out with the last one found out she was putting a few too many extras on her account

Madam's very easy going in some ways, but she don't like to be cheated there our bad match

You make a good husband with somebody won't you yet?

No, I'm Mr. Moment I'm sure

Not my husband to do my shopping for me. Oh, then I won't give you the little present. I got for you then you never

Always like lavender we used to have a big bush of it outside the back door at home

Here Ethel if madam doesn't want me to my afternoon. Do you care to come for a walk? Oh

It ain't me afternoon off

All right, but you'll have to do all your work first though. Thanks. This is Cochran. Come on. You better take this

Now give Mrs. Coven in our best respects and say we look forward to seeing her back here very soon. Thanks. I will bye bye

You had enough mr. Maryman no, sir

Mr. Sturgis what in the shop before the theater thought I better be sure that

Be pardon be ready for me really I just go check the wines

You go and polish off that bottle now in a pain tree and input is the app never you mind that that's none of your business

Now I thought about mr. Prince. Oh, yes. I do my work before I go out tomorrow. Mrs. Cochran

I'm not talking about that

Now is a very nice young man with very nice taking ways

But you know as well as I do you'll only be here for a few weeks

Then be off to it to lose mrs. Coventon then back to the house in Bradford and you don't know when he'll be here again

And that's how it's always going to be with him

He could get another position you'd be a fool if he did he's got a very good place with mrs. Coven

Don't you thinks the world of him and he's not gonna give that up for you

Now come on Ethel I'm not saying don't go out with him. I'm just saying don't get carried away. That's all

That orange jumbles really quite excellent my dear Mrs. Prince would you have some more no thank you mrs. Terges

No, thank you

Shouldn't we believe in soon? No, I never mind being late at the theater especially for a comedy. It's all such nonsense anyway

In that case I wonder you think it worth going at all

My dear Mrs. Prince is your very outspoken. Oh, I'm so sorry was that rude

Mama is always saying I'm too outspoken and I never know what she means

She means you speak the truth at inconvenient moments

Is that it then I must learn when truth is convenient and when it is not in society the truth is almost never

Convenient I suppose it is nearly time. We're left

Eddie they've got any decent port in this place offer you haven't time to sit over port and cigars now

Oh, we can come back here after the theater and have a little supper wait

Tell the chauffeur we should be ready to leave in five minutes very very good

Very

Better be worth it the car is there is it stop?

No, sir, I believe not wait to give you my message. Oh, that's too bad

Please tell the chauffeur immediately understand the chauffeur is not yet returned

I suppose it's on some errand or other for auntie

Oh, no, really it's too selfish in you perfectly well

We were going to the theater this evening that obviously we should be in the car can't be walked

Trestling a bit miss better call it head then star look sharp about it. Oh

You need mother. Hey, well, Prince. What an earth you mean? We wish to leave for the theater immediately

I'm so sorry my dear. It seems that no one is reliable these days least war-surgens

Could I have a word with you? Please madam call that little later. Yes, we're going to this piece is yet

Let's go otherwise we may as well go back upstairs and finish our dinner in comfort now one thing I hate

Stop grumbling what will miss Prentice think of yours, please madam. Something wrong, Prince. Can you tell me later?

No, man

This is coven and his dead matter

Dead

What happened?

What is the man talking about?

I'm afraid your sister has died. This is sir. Just I'm very sorry madam. I would have I don't believe it

She was perfectly all right this afternoon

Well apparently it was our heart just suddenly

They say she collapsed

Never

Just

It's all right

Oh, Prince doesn't have to bother I'll keep him on I

Should probably buy a new car. Yeah, they're here and what's wrong with the old one?

Mrs. Covenant only bought it last year. I think I fancy something with a bit more go in it

Prince can come help me choose it. I'll cheer him up. All right, then you can put them a deer down here

You don't exactly the occasion for champagne. This isn't a celebration, you know

Anyway, this is a very nice drop of stuff. Oh Blandy brought it back from himself last time he was over mr. Cape

I sir

Mr. Cape I'm Ed with sturgis. Did you do this is Mrs. Trotter? This is trotter

Yeah, here for some adero mr. Cape. Yes. Thank you

You're right right here. Yes. Thank you quite convenient

This all looks very formal

When my poor brother died we just gathered together after the funeral and arranged everything in a few moments

Uncle George only left four pence and the old that to his hatter

Mrs. Sturgis

Good moms here, isn't it quite a good seller this hotel, you know we had a carrot the other night

He wouldn't have been ashamed to serve at my club

Surely we don't need to have the chauffeur here. They are beneficiaries. Oh, are they?

Even so

Well shall we begin?

Thank you, merriman. Oh

Mr. Merriman you might care to know that mrs. Cobund and bid remember you and her will she left small legacies to

Three members of the staff of the Ben Tink to each of the martha Cornelius Merriman Joseph star and Mary Phillips the sum of 20 pounds

I shall be notifying all officially of course

But perhaps you might care to convey that information to the others

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir

It's quite a simple will and I thought perhaps it might be as well if you all heard it together

I felt that mrs. Cobund and would have liked mrs. Trotter to be present in view of certain provisions

There are legacies of 50 pounds each to

Albert Proctor Ethel Bryce and Annie Carter

All of them the gardener housekeeper and cook could mrs. Cobund and house and Bradford

Oh, yes, and legacies of 100 pounds each to each of her guard daughters has not going to be much left at this rate

To my kind friend Louisa Trotter who made a home for me whenever I was in London the sum of 100 pounds

asking her to drink a glass of champagne to my memory

To you mrs. Turgis yes, your sister left a legacy of a thousand pounds and her house in Bradford

To my nephew Edward George Sturgis

Who has always made it perfectly clear that he'd no interest in me whatever but only in my money

I leave not a penny in the hope that it may teach him a lesson in manners

Hey, I given to eyes and bequeed all the residue of my property both real and personal where so ever and whatsoever

To my chauffeur Thomas Albert Prince who's always served me with such thoughtfulness and consideration and showing me at all times a genuine and selfless affection

That is all

She was out of that mind surely I think not mrs. Cobund came to my office to sign this wheel four months ago when she returned from Italy

I would say she was perfectly

Compost mentors

Earth am I going to do with a house in Bradford? I suppose we can sell it. I'm certainly not going to live in it

She was always spiteful even as a child

Really mr. Cape Earth. I think you might have given her better advice

Come along out there. We should go back to the plant immediately. Oh

Yes

Would you like me to drive you madam certainly not we shall take a cab

Eddie you'd better come round this evening and we'll talk the whole thing over and see what can be done

Come along now, sir

Careful as well mr. Crapa no thank you mrs. Trotter. I have another appointment

Mr. Prince perhaps you'd care to come to my office tomorrow morning and I could explain your financial position a little more

Clearly

About how much would the residue come to oh probably in the region of 30,000 pounds

30,000

I see

I say and people won't have to know will they I mean about my aunt not believing anything you can rely

upon my discretion naturally I

Hope you've not been borrowing upon your expectations. Of course not

No more than no more than everyone else does

hmm

quite so

I don't really approve you know there's a bit of a laugh though, isn't it?

I'm not sure that it is

And I come on them boys

So beastly unfair

I was always jolly decent to her

Why only the last time we went to the theater I bought her a box of chocolates

Yeah, well

I'm gonna do what she said and drink her glasses champagne in a memory. You better join me

Oh larmy you look more missable than he does you better come to come on

Thank you, mr. Star

Very generous. I must say I never expected it. Did you mr. Madam? I thought I might get a fiber

Here's to a very nice lady

God rest yourself

A home years whiteies war about mr. Princeton well, I think it could not into a nice a fellow

He really deserves it. You don't have enough to get made on how well together

Now come on, Ethel, you know what mrs. Trussell you find this gossipy gear where we've no business to be

She'll say she'd have all got the garties. Yes, you're right

No, if you go on P.L.O.s. Artichokes put him in vinegar mortar straight away same as I showed you

Miss mrs. Cockburn. I bet they'll go on look at me fires

Now mr. Merryman you shouldn't tease the girl like that she didn't seem to mind. It's quite true

Mrs. Cockburn you will be able to settle down now a day I say but do you think you look at Ethel the man with 30,000 pounds

What she go do with all that money is right like now what's master Eddie gonna do without it? Hmm?

You just have to learn to manage won't he? Do him good if you ask me?

No, you'll have to get yourself a job. My boy. What would you suggest?

Perhaps Prince had better teach me how to be a Shover.

If you drive a car anything like the way you back the horses wouldn't trust you around the next corner

Anyway you haven't got good enough manners to be a show for. Sorry. Oh for God's sake Prince put that bleep and cap down

Sorry madam. Don't call me madam. Guess what we know it's been called madam by my mama 30,000 pounds

Well, that's just it madam, isn't it? I mean that's just it. What is? Yeah

Well, it doesn't seem like a chauffeur having that much money. You can always give it away

That's enough. How do you? I mean if a man's rich you expected to be a gentleman

Oh maybe you could teach any out to be a chauffeur. He could teach you how to be a gentleman

If that money's really mine. Of course it's yours. You make the most of enjoy yourself.

What are you gonna do with it anyway? I don't know madam. Been different if my mother had been alive. Could have made life a bit easier for her

But as it is, well, I suppose I better put some of it aside. Oh you can always buy a business, open a shop. Or a garage, yes

Where are you gonna go now then? Well just for the minute I was wondering if I could stay here. Oh I'd stay in my usual room and I'd pay my own way

You stay here, you have a proper apartment like anyone else. Don't want to my guests in the attic. If you like you can have Mrs. Covendon's rooms

Oh I wouldn't like to. Oh I don't know how you can afford them. Oh I dare say I could. You want them. They're yours

Well I would like to stay in London just for a bit. Think of you going into society, are you Prince? Not exactly sir

But that doesn't seem much point in staying on in service. I wouldn't mind having a bit of fun like Mrs. Troderer says. Well go to the theater cell if we said we'd just buy on the ticket side. Yes that's it madam and I've always wanted to go to the horse sales at Tatassels. You see my father was a groom and

Well there's lots of things I'd like to do really. Only I wouldn't want to embarrass anyone by seeming out of place you know. Of course what with madam taking me everywhere I've been around the gentry. If you're going to be around them in a different capacity

you'll have to stop calling them gentry. Yes sir I suppose there's lots of things like that. Maybe that wasn't such a bad idea of yours after all madam. What's that? Do you mind if I am? No I help myself. Well I was thinking that if I was to pay master Eddie's expenses same as madam used to. How the devil do you know that? Oh servants get to know quite a few things. Well that's what I mean it wouldn't all come strange to me. But if master Eddie was to take me around a bit show me the ropes.

Well what do you think? Well I don't think if he's going to do that you better stop calling him master Eddie.

Please have it. Oh. Hello Major come here. Have a free drink. Oh yes thank you I will. I said wouldn't be rather a lark Louis or wouldn't it.

What would you? To pass him off as a gentleman. Oh no sir I wasn't thinking of anything like that.

Yeah that's not a bad idea. Right you are we'll do it. We'll pass you off as a gentleman. Come have a man with 30,000 pounds actually like a chauffeur.

Major help he knows what's what. What? Well now you're finished hobnobbing with your knabobs.

Got a job of work for you. If you're asking for my advice and you mean what I think you mean.

Well honestly I think it might be rather a mistake. I'm not asking for your advice.

I'm asking for your help. Mr. Thomas Prince your grace.

Didn't give it to me they'll think you've come to stay for a week. What shall I do with it? Take it in with you. Oh.

Don't put them there. Well where shall I put them? I have a chair when you sit down.

How do I shake hands? You don't. Just bow to the Duchess.

Oh very nice to meet you Mr. Prince. I believe you know Mr. Sturgis.

Bow well boy. How do you do? Very well think. Don't tell me I don't want to know. What?

He tells me you're very cuz of mine's necks. What shall I say then? Bow smile and sit down.

Yes.

Now you make conversation. What do I talk about? Anything except religion or politics.

Oh business. Don't talk business to women. They're not supposed to understand it.

It's a fine day or grace for the time of year.

Will your grace be going abroad for the...

I don't keep calling you a grace, so don't. Oh. It is servants to do that. If you don't mind my saying so.

You just call a Duchess now then. So tell you know what's what? How don't they? Are you doing?

Blowing my nose. Yes but quietly my dear chap. It's not a trombone.

Don't turn your head away. Just say pardon. No. Never apologise.

Unless you spill something on a lady's dress. Just remember you're a gentleman and whatever you do is right.

Well you'd better go now. Yes, mustn't stay more than quarter now.

It hardly seems worth coming at all. Don't I even get a cup of tea? Oh yeah, he must get a cup of tea.

Not the first time. He doesn't know the Duchess well enough to come at tea time.

But you're going to be with me. Yes of course. You'd never get in otherwise. I'll introduce you.

Yeah ready. You're not really taking him to the Duchess first off.

Well that's flown a bit high for starters isn't it?

My dear Louisa she's got four completely un-maragable daughters.

Faces like the north side of Clappam common bog here. And not one of them with a penny.

So if any eligible young man comes along with a bit of tinkle.

The Duchess don't ask too many questions. Here I've got a better idea.

Why don't you have a little luncheon party here and invite the Duchess and her eldest daughter.

What's her name? Victoria. Victoria. Yeah this right.

Now if that doesn't get Tom into society nothing will. That's a good idea. Yeah. Right.

What? No we've got to get him out. Oh yeah right. Carry on.

I'm terribly sorry Duchess. I've got to be pushing off. No.

What you doing here? That's a bit of luck I'd hope I'd find you here.

Guess aren't there's any kitchen. Aren't they?

You'll get me into trouble. Mrs. Cochran's only just gone to Tuesday or is this for your lunch?

Oh don't talk to me about oysters. Master Eddie had me half the morning at Scots yes they learning how to eat them properly.

Don't you like them? Horrible. But you have to eat them if you're going to be a gentleman.

Here what you doing tomorrow afternoon? Working. And like some I could mention.

But it's your afternoon off. But if it is. Well come out with me. Can't go out with guests.

But you can come out with me. Well what people think if they saw me walking about with you.

Oh. Dole duck like that. Well I'll put my chauffeurs you uniform on. Does that make you feel better?

Do you want to get me the sack? Of course I don't. Well then get upstairs quick before Mrs. Trotter says you.

F. Mrs. Cochran's.

Alright then dog. Mrs. Cochran.

Yeah where's the other daily news. I said two copies didn't I Fred? Oh there it is.

Just as well a Fred or you'd have been in trouble my lad.

Morning Mr. Star. Morning Fred.

Only two of the daily news. You and the Duke.

Here. Don't let him know you take you to. He want to share yours. He's so mean he grudges by in his bootlaces in bed.

Oh Mr. Star.

Uh. No sir. Just star now. And you're Mr. Prince. Star then.

You couldn't get me a copy of the chauffeurs gazette could you?

Well. Exactly the sort of thing.

Alright I'll see what I'm doing. Thanks.

You were up a bit early aren't you?

Well I can't get used to all this lying in bed. We could have past five I do same as I've done all my life.

You'd join me to give you an with us. Oh thank you sir I can manage.

There's just one thing.

Maybe it was late with the breakfast trays again. I'll chuck in the end of stays and you with him.

Yes sir. Good morning. Sorry I can't stop. Some of us got work to do.

Another thing Tom my wife had that mind mentioning it. Don't forget to eat chop pudding with a fork.

I need to use the spoon yesterday.

You can get it up better with a spoon. Yes I do say but it's not quite the thing.

And don't forget your father is a vicar in Bristol.

Bristol. I've never met anyone who actually lives in Bristol so that's right.

And the clergy are always hard up.

So that explains why you never went to a decent school and why you talk the way you do.

Yes. And the rich uncle died in Italy leaving all his money. Clever that.

Oh man. But Miss Prentice is bound to recognize me.

No she won't. People never look at servants faces.

Anyway she's only seen you once or twice and you'd have been wearing a cap.

Her Grace the Duchess of Flint and Lady Victoria Mitchum.

Ah good morning Mr Stegis.

So have a look at that dishwasher.

So have a look at that dish before it goes up.

Oh yeah that's lovely. Right tell.

I thought you'd like that celery properly. Yes Mrs. Prentice.

Oh it's lovely.

There we have it.

Where do you think I'll bet and remember?

I hear that dreadful Mrs. Glenn has written another book.

I think it should be against the law for people in society to write books.

Their acquaintances will feel all the time as if they have a spy in their midst.

Do you think our books give an accurate picture of society Duchess?

Passion on a tiger skin with a Balkan princess.

Splendid.

What a no idea.

Really Mr Stegis. I was not referring to that dreadful novel three weeks.

I'm happy to say I haven't read it.

And I consider that you should not even mention it in front of my daughter Miss Prentice.

But I quite enjoyed the visits of Elizabeth.

It described exactly what I remember feeling when I first came out.

My boots made too much noise when I came into the room.

And everybody seemed to be speaking a private language and to know things about each other.

But I did not.

Let me be Miss Prentice.

But you suffered in silence like the rest of us.

I did not write it down for everyone to read.

If we all gave away the secrets of society, where should we be?

Have you been to the Agilel, Mr Prince?

I'm not very fond of the ballet.

I have more of a taste for opera, really.

I'd like to see that Boris Goodenoff thing.

I'm told shall he appear to be Mr Prentice.

What's this?

Beef ol' in your gracias.

Beef olives and celery ol' a spaniel.

Yes, I remember having that lady paired it.

And sending a message to Mrs Totted to say how much I enjoyed it.

Her very clever of her to remember.

Mrs Rarely a delightful luncheon party, Mr Sturgis.

Isn't it Victoria?

Oh yes, Mama.

Are you fond of reading, Mr Prince?

For say so, myself, I don't think I've ever sent up a more perfect, more luncheon.

Everything is just right.

Well done, cocky.

Thank you, madam.

They've all been in the house, Poxel, I've been familiar.

Thank you, madam.

They've all been in the house, Poxel, I've been familiar.

Yes, Mr P

Touch and go.

Oh, granny.

Have you known Mr Prince long?

Oh, quite some time, Duchess.

But he has only just come into money.

Ah.

Thirty thousand a year, quite a tidy sum.

Yes, indeed.

Are you fond of London, Mr Sturgis?

From the window of a first-class carriage, Lady Victoria?

Yes.

Otherwise, I must prefer the country.

I agree.

London so dreadfully.

Well, that is to say, of course, London's so interesting.

The picture galleries and...

Are you fond of paintings, Mr Sturgis?

I've never actually been in a picture gallery, except the Royal Academy.

But that doesn't count.

No, no, no, of course.

Oh, Lady Victoria, there's nothing worse than trying to make polite conversation under the critical eye of one's Lamar.

Still, I'll not be too proud to follow her lead.

Are you fond of paintings, Mr Prince?

Don't fancy the continent, myself.

Racket is sort of place for the most part.

Doesn't inspire one with confidence.

These fallen royalties keep on getting themselves assassinated.

I didn't do it on purpose.

Personally, I think they just want to make themselves more important.

And I used to go to the picture galleries in Florence when I was there.

Oh, yes. That was when you were staying with your uncles.

Or was it your aunt?

You spotted me.

I thought you had.

Did you think I wouldn't?

Well, Eddie said that people never look at servants' faces.

Oh, did he? Well, he was quite wrong.

Especially if the servant is young and good-looking.

Do you know? I fell in love with the second foot one when I was only 15.

But you mean?

Yes, really.

You hear that Lucy Caste shot a gamekeeper last week?

On purpose, or by accident?

Hardly by accident. She shoots better than her husband.

Well, the general opinion is that she was aiming at her husband.

Look, the man got in between.

Quite nonsense, of course, just an unfortunate accident.

What was the idea of this masquerade? Was it a joke?

It wasn't a joke to me. It wasn't even my idea.

But you see, I'd come into this little bit of money.

You don't mean to tell me you got half Eddie's expectations?

Good for Mrs. Covendon. It serves him right.

But I thought that...

What did you think?

Oh, just because I let him take me to the theatre and out to dinner.

And because he does dance rather nicely, it doesn't mean to say I have to.

Well, if we just went around with people we approved of, think how dull life would be.

Well, so you inherited this money.

Well, I just decided that I'd like to stay at the bench until I decided what to do with it.

But Master Eddie and the Major and Mrs. Trotter...

Thought you should pretend to be what you were not.

Thank you for a charming lunch, Mr. Sturgis.

Victoria?

Hey, yes. Thank you so much, Mr. Sturgis.

You must bring Mr. Prince to the theatre.

There it is. You must bring Mr. Prince to call one day.

Thursday's mad home day.

Well, by the way, Mr. Prince, we're giving a drama on Wednesday.

Awful crushes after dinner gatherings, but the young people seem to like them.

If you'd care to come.

Thank you, Duchess. But I think you ought to know that...

That I'm not...

I'm so sorry, Duchess. But that is the evening Mr. Prince has promised faithfully to take me to the opera.

Oh, well, some other time, perhaps.

Bye, Major.

Victoria?

Come on.

Well done, I think we did quite well.

I'm using a poster, would you still not?

All right, madam.

Yeah.

Oh, these of you, madam.

All right.

I'm going to tell Mark about so early this morning.

No, I'm a bit late last night.

Music hall and then on to the Caffida Puri.

Oh, I can sell, sir, is it?

No, not as bad as that. But could you do us a hamper?

A hamper.

We're thinking of driving out a new market this afternoon.

Who's we?

Me and Eddie and Miss Prentice and Lady Victoria.

Oh, she'll earn out on her own.

Oh, Grace must have taken to you. All right.

I'll see you get a nice little lunch and plenty of bubbly.

Thanks.

Yeah, don't you go getting her, tiddly.

Hi, Mr. Prince.

Got your showers, good day.

Oh, yes, sir. Thanks.

I hope we're doing the right thing.

Oh, of course we are, isn't it?

The time is life.

Most likely been gauged to Lady Victoria before the years out.

I'm afraid you lost a dreadful lot of money, Mr. Prince.

No, that doesn't matter.

It was a good day out, and that's what counts.

Oh, it was simply wonderful to be out in the country again.

Victoria, may I ask you a question?

Yes, please do.

Why do you stay in London when you detest it?

Well, I have to.

Because your mother says so.

One should not submit to the tyranny of mothers.

You know you should go to her and say, dear Mama,

I have given London a fair chance,

and I shall never love London and London will never love me.

Therefore, I am going back where I belong.

Your carriage is here, lady.

Thank you.

Do you know I really think I will?

What a luck.

You're time for the best of the cup hunting, too.

Goodbye.

And thank you.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Bye.

If you ask me, these falling for Miss Prentice,

and I got half a mind, these falling for him, too?

Yeah, I think it's quite romantic.

Don't know about romantic.

Costable, pretty penny. I know that.

Fortunately, he spent just to get wild strawberries

I didn't for him in the south of France.

He never did.

Yeah.

Ethel, watch what you do with that potato smell.

Don't break the flakes up.

Just let them fall through the sieve lightly.

I only owe Mr. Prentice got a bit booked by for a rainy day.

I'll see you, Ethel.

I don't know. I have no idea.

So, Trim, what you does with his money?

Oh.

Oh, Ethel, let me finish that.

Mr. Mary-Man, what have you done with that bit of money, Mrs. Covington left you?

Hey, put it away from the old edge.

They were playing Bridge for I am much.

Told you all to know, ma'am.

Tom, this is a very important pen, Sir Point.

Well, why not?

Besides, if a gentleman suggests playing for a certain magic,

I'm very well-starred objecting to it.

From one other pen, Sir Bitz.

How did you?

I thought servants weren't supposed to tell tales.

I know. I'll try them special.

Now, listen, Tom, all touts are a major crop.

They treat money like confetti.

Don't know what? Eddie's doing playing with them.

They be bacchar, are next.

Here, they haven't asked you.

Now, listen, Tom.

Unheart told you to enjoy your money.

You don't want to squandry it all.

It's my money. I can do what I like with it.

Yeah, I know what you don't want to find.

Well, don't worry. There's enough left to pay the bill.

Oh, glad to get the word off me feet.

Let's have a drop by that tea.

Mrs. Chate has had me go on around every single room with her.

This was wrong and that was wrong.

I was glad to see the back of her.

She'll be back this evening.

She's only gone to a wedding.

I expect that's why she was in such a mood.

She doesn't like weddings.

Here, do you think Tom and Miss Prandas will get married?

Of course not, she would now have him.

Anyway, I'm glad to see her.

I'm glad to see her.

I'm glad to see her.

I'm glad to see her.

I'm glad to see her.

I know you're glad to see her.

I don't know what to do with your

wedding, but I'm glad to see her.

She wouldn't have him.

Anyway, I always thought her and Mr. Sturgis was wrong.

But Tom's got the money now and Mr. Sturgis hasn't.

Money talks, Mary, you know.

But it's just not Sturgis.

Whatever's wrong with her.

I've told you already, Mr. Sturgis, is not in.

He's in alright.

Now, look here.

I'm staying here until he sees me.

So you may as well tell him that.

Now, are you going to tell him I'm here?

Because if not, I warn you.

See, Mr. Sturgis.

You want a special place?

Makes no difference to me, Petem.

Now then, sir, I'm sure you don't want any unpleasant.

Mr. Sturgis can't be disturbed at the moment,

but if you'd like to leave a message,

then I'm sure he will receive it.

All right.

You can give him a message.

Tell him Mr. Francis is going to put him in the bankruptcy court.

And after that, he won't be able to get into a hotel like this.

He won't be able to get into any hotel or club in London.

Just tell him that from me.

My god, he'll ruin me that damn money lender.

Tom, I'm done for.

It's very kind of you to come, Mr. Kay.

That's not at all.

I was passing anyway.

That is.

I wanted your advice.

What's it like, then?

Oh, beautiful.

It would not be about Mr. Prince, would it?

Oh, well, yes, it was a matter of fact.

See, I feel a bit responsible in a way.

I wish you could persuade him to put some of that money aside.

Don't want him to squander it.

We won't listen to me.

I'm afraid it's too late.

Right.

On my advice, he did allow me to invest 10,000 pounds

with the view of buying a business of some kind.

But this week, he instructed me to realize the money.

And I understand a check was drawn for that amount next day.

You had it mended for me.

How did you manage it?

I took it to de Valeroy's and Bond Street.

It's been so beautifully repaired.

One would never have known it had been mended at all.

And it hasn't.

This isn't my fan.

Well, they couldn't mended after all.

So I- You bought me a new one.

I shouldn't accept it.

But I'm going to because you're so very kind

and I'm so fond of you.

Tom, did you pay at his debts?

How did you know?

Well, it wasn't hard to guess that somebody had.

One minute he was going around with a face

as long as the serpentine.

And the next, he was at Mary as a Greek.

He took me out to lunch at the Ritz and all the caviar.

Isn't that just like Eddie?

To get himself into a mess.

Allow you to help him out of it and then not even invite

you to join us.

I really don't think I'm going to be able to make anything

of him.

You're going to try then, are you?

You know, you criticize Eddie all the time, which means

that you talk about Eddie all the time, which

must mean that you think about him all the time.

Are you going to marry him?

Oh, I don't know.

I suppose so.

One does, you know.

We shan't have a penny.

But if I can persuade my father to increase my allowance

to 1,000 a year, and we get a horrid little flat

in the debris street and I made my clothes last year or two,

we might just rub along.

1,000 a year.

Do you know how much I'd get as a chauffeur?

No.

40 pounds a year.

Tom, that money you gave Eddie, it wasn't all you had.

No, of course not.

It's a pity I didn't have 30,000 a year like the major said.

And then you might have married me instead.

That's a beastly thing to say.

And anyway, you never asked me.

Perhaps if I come back here, I can have my old room back.

If I don't get the shower of purchase valleys in there,

go straight out the window.

He's there for you when you want it.

Thanks.

Thank you, madam.

What for?

Wasting all your money.

It wasn't wasted.

You're a fool.

You know that.

Eddie has to have money to waste.

I don't.

Well, the thanks you get for it.

Well, if you go.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Tom!

Thank you.

Well, Major, for once we don't seem to have done too well, do we?

We?

Oh, is this much your idea was mine?

It was not, I always said it was a mistake.

Oh, well, no mind.

Still, only goes to show.

Can't teach you new dog-old tricks.

Sure you mean, can't teach you.
