for today.

This is a marvel at an attention, sir, which we, to the tell fair, are very proud.

Works on the principle of solitary confinement.

How long would the prisoners confide here?

In this week, sir, they are mostly long term and lackless.

It must be very desperate men.

Oh, great scoundrel, sir.

Here's one.

A judge convicted of forging state warrants.

Does he receive any visitors?

Not here, nor is he likely to.

At his age, it's doubtful he'll trouble the outside world again.

May I see them?

He may be difficult, sir, so with your own.

Somewhere to see, Judge, by what you say.

I hope I do not disturb you, sir.

Not in the least, Prince.

You know who I am.

Well, we've been polishing that corridor for days.

I trust us to your satisfaction.

It's a very fine corridor.

They tell me that in a few short weeks that you have won back nearly all the states that your great grandaddy lost.

I can see why.

It is I who have been conquered by your country's generosity.

May I speak with you a while?

Oh, why not, Prince?

Sit down.

Plenty of time.

After all, I'll be here for 20 years.

It is my wish that this small tree, planted near the grave of the first great American,

shall grow and flourish as a symbol of the friendship between our two nations.

Then I pray, sir, that it shall never wither.

It is up to us to make sure that it does not, Mr. President.

I have this, please.

Why, sir?

I have this.

I have this.

I have this.

Why, sir?

I may have this, please.

Why, certainly, Miss Lane.

Just as it is.

We still have Washington's house to see.

Though our fancy, my niece looks forward more to dancing on the boat on the way home.

On the boat.

Oh, it was a little surprise.

But perhaps you're tired of dancing.

On the contrary.

Though sometimes I feel as though I'm dancing my way across America.

The

New York Society has never seen the light before.

And you know why, General?

All the ladies are in love with the prince.

Lord Renfroum, if you please come now, General.

Our people won't be put off with a mere lord.

Not when they know they got the prince away.

Oh, sir.

Your royal house.

Well, sir.

Are you tired of that?

By no means.

I'm glad to hear it.

There'd be a near riot if you left now.

Surely you don't intend to keep us here all night.

I have positively no objection.

Only do you think just once I could pick apart their of my own?

It's Oscar.

Oh, sir.

I'm sorry, sir.

There are so many important ladies.

Of course.

As it is, the ladies who have been dancing,

they won't be speaking to those who have and vice versa.

We want to keep the split in society from growing together.

In society from growing too wide.

Are your royal hands?

May I present?

Mrs. Amelia Schuller?

I believe I'll be promised to dance your royal hand.

Delighted, Madam.

Now, the fort in that it is general and the long-term royalist.

Then you don't think we're too backward?

On the contrary, it's a fine city in a wonderful country.

I believe your royal highness is staying in hotel.

Yes, on Fifth Avenue.

Ma, hey, it must all be very different from Windsor Castle.

Certainly. It's much more comfortable.

Oh.

It's my respectful regards for the Prince Consort.

I remain your majesty's friend and obedient servant,

James Buchanan, Washington, 6th of October, 1860.

What was that the president said?

That Bertie's tour has been a triumph. Look at this.

He has been everywhere I've seen with enthusiasm.

Attributable to his own noble and manly bearing.

Dignified, frank and affable.

He now domestic certainly won all hearts.

It doesn't sound like Bertie.

Not the one I know.

What has happened? How can he have won such opinions?

They have been carried away.

The natural demonstration of affection with which they greeted your representative

has made them believe it was due to Bertie himself.

Of course.

I can hardly believe you soon be home.

Yes, he's been away a long time and through many excitements we must make sure

he doesn't expect him to become a habit.

What was his name?

London. He walked right across the Niagara Falls on a rope.

Once on Stilts and once carrying a man on his back.

How far is it?

Nearly quarter of a mile.

Did he speak to him?

I congratulated him when he'd finished and he offered to carry me across two.

But old Bruce wouldn't let him.

What else?

The New York Fabrics.

No, seriously, I rode on the thing.

Bertie?

Oh, how rare you look.

How handsome.

It is good to see you.

Then you've had a successful trip.

I can't begin to tell you this so much.

Everyone writes very well of you.

But you must not let it go to your head.

If you were accepted and deplored it, it was due not so much.

It was due not so much to you as to the fact that your mother is Queen of England.

Of course, Papa.

We have all missed you, Bertie.

Oh, well, I knew.

I was longing to see you and tell you.

But we were held up by storms.

In case it's particularly unfortunate that it has made you miss the first week of the

Middle Miss term at Oxford, you will return to Christchurch in the next few days.

You will keep apart from the undergraduates in this way.

If you work hard, you still stand a chance.

You still stand a chance of catching up.

The

following his success might not be an idea for the Prince of Wales to take over some of the

difficulties.

Out of the question.

With respect, sir, you are already overworked.

So many decisions.

Surely the Prince could perform some of the purely ceremonial duties.

Lord Barniston, I will not expose him to society yet.

It's more important that we not expose society to him.

I believe he is keen to serve in the army.

Oh, yes, he likes the idea of uniforms.

But in any case, service in the army would show discrimination against the navy, which is to be avoided.

Quite so, sir.

A mayor ask, has Her Majesty had time to consider my recommendations regarding the Italian question?

Her Majesty will not discuss Italy.

It must be discussed, sir.

Italian unity has been delayed for too long.

She must win free of Austria and we must recognize her.

It is very difficult for me to have many relatives in the Austrian court.

All I ask is that we do not appear to be taking sides too clearly.

Very well, sir.

As I have said before, we should appoint you an ex officio member of the cabinet and be done with it.

I fear the constitutional problems would prove too great, my lord.

Unfortunately so, sir.

So he's gone.

Yes, just gone.

What did he want?

Hit the toy for line of zoned. He was rattling his saber little.

He approves of Louis Napolians sending an army against Austria.

So it seems...

Well, I do not.

It is not up to the French to be construct Europe.

Why doesn't he go and be a prime minister of France?

You seem to be out of sorts with everyone today.

And why not?

No one serves me. I can depend on no one except you, even Vicki.

What about her?

She ignores me.

I have written to her time and time again.

She's very busy as Princess of Prussia.

Still, my daughter.

Or I have asked is her help in finding a suitable husband for her sister, Alice.

Also, she is a young mother with all the cares of living in a new country.

Oh, yes, protect her.

She needs protection from you.

You tie her out with your incessant letters.

How can you say that?

Because it's true.

I figured you not to bother her with rifles.

Trifles?

Her sister's marriage?

It shows how little you care for the affairs of England.

Albert, I'm sorry, please.

I've gone back on all my promises.

I'm not improved.

Forgive me.

Not really, Vicki.

It is just your nature and you do try your constant limb-saving.

Do you think so?

Yes, I do.

But I must still help you.

It is the greatest wish of my heart to save you from your own mistrust and jealousy.

I'm not jealous.

And I prove it.

I know, I know.

We'll go to Germany.

Germany?

With just a few friends.

Quite informally, you'd like that.

Yes, but...

We put all the places you knew as a boy.

We could see Stochmärge and perhaps for the last time.

And Vicki?

And our little grandson for the first time?

Oh.

Yeah.

That's a good five-time friendship.

Oh, you've seen both.

But the fire looks so tired.

That's what I keep telling you, but he pays no attention.

I would prefer that you did not discuss me.

Well, someone has to.

You've had Vicki in the persuade you not to do so much.

She won't listen to me.

You always do.

Well, wait, wait, wait.

Now I know where Vicki gets a sense of duty from.

I have that too, only I just don't rise quite so early in the morning as I heard of them.

No.

As Fritz told you.

But I thought we'd think we found just the husband for Alice.

But that's excellent.

Prince Louis of Härse.

He's a charming man and not a Prussian.

Oh, good.

Oh, we're all very fond of dear Fritz.

But our people would never stand for another Prussian.

Louis, excellent.

Yes, I think I knew his aunt.

Did you write to me about it?

I'm sure I did.

Expect your mother was too busy writing to you to read your reply.

Oh, I was not.

How could you?

Vicki, your papa says I send you too many letters.

Oh, no, my, your letters are a delight.

I feel myself at home again when I read them.

You see?

Only sometimes I am very busy and I cannot always reply at once you mustn't scold me.

Oh, I promise not to scold.

If you are too busy, just drop me a line to say so.

If she drops her line, she might as well write your letter.

Oh, you're here.

Oh, really?

No.

Oh, I stunned the friend of the one of your father.

Oh, he has his grandfathers and their own friends.

Oh, oh, oh, he's an unmoondish.

Now, but the one of your father.

Oh, he has his grandfathers and their own friends.

Oh, I still can't be read by my grandmother.

It is hard, my, my, you're looking young.

Oh, my, my, my.

Oh, my, my, my, my, my friends.

Friends.

I know this, you keep his arms covered.

There's anything the matter.

His left arm was slightly damaged at birth.

The doctor said it may get better.

And if not, it will always be weak and they developed.

Ricky will not have it mentioned, of course.

Well, she's a fine fellow anywhere and will be a good friend to England.

Oh, do still be arguing you two.

Oh, children, not so loud.

Grandma, I are talking.

I'm so into not too bit.

I do wish I could see you little little hair.

Oh, he's quite the british.

Baby, ever.

They tell me she's to have another.

Yes, it's ridiculous.

But after all, it is not we women who decide these things.

Oh, where do you two be?

I'm skating my mom's back.

Where is Prince Louis? He's gone to change.

He fell down once or twice.

Nothing, both of my hosts.

They were burped.

He said his pride was bruised.

Hello.

He's not playing no training.

Her be interest.

You play now.

I'm willing.

She's next to me now.

I'm going to play something.

I don't think you can go.

She's very good.

She's not here.

She's got the little dog.

Happy?

How long is Louis to be here?

He has to rejoin his regiment next month.

You miss him?

Wait till you find someone.

You'll be the next.

No, no.

Not me.

I don't intend to get married until I've begun to live.

Bye.

Escape.

Sushnell.

What about my time?

Time.

It passes so quickly.

My daughter, a grandmother, her daughter, a mother, and now it's...

It's a promise to be married.

What's wrong?

Oh, no.

The purchase is not mine.

Everyone, there is so much noise in here I can hardly work.

Well, it's time you stop.

I'll be there.

He will be served soon.

Oh, don't join us, Papa.

Thank you.

Oh, you're so tall.

I will, very well.

Hello, Bertie.

Hello.

Papa.

Nice.

Is it the whole...

Alice has Louis to rejoin his regiment next month.

Oh, not the army again.

I've told you before it is impossible.

I was going to cross it.

Merely.

Besides, you know, you are to go to Cambridge next time.

At least at Cambridge, let me live in college.

If I don't live south before.

If you stay in college, you will become too familiar.

You are bound to make a sentence.

I assure you they will only embarrass you in later life.

Why must you spoil a good party?

Daddy, come on, people.

Yeah, don't put you over there because I'm coming down and I'm going to play.

Yes, start again.

I'm not fine.

Charles Carrington.

We are fellow students.

My rooms are just over there.

Would you care to...

Why not?

This is the study.

There's a small bedroom through here.

You have all this to yourself.

Yes.

And you can entertain here.

Well, yes.

You are lucky.

You have a house, sir.

Yes.

But I also have a governor.

Who doesn't approve of visitors.

Oh, I see.

We have met before you know.

Oh, I was one of a group of boys from Eton, who was sent to play with you and your brother at Windsor.

Carrington, of course, we ran a race.

Well, nearly.

And we wrestled it.

Not a small world.

Yes, isn't it?

I thought you had a hard life, even then.

Weren't you, Sir Downton?

Oh, thank you.

Would you care for a glass of wine?

No, thank you.

Oh, please.

It's a habit I picked up in Canada.

I like it.

Although I'm afraid my parents don't approve.

And you have this to yourself.

All to yourself.

And what is this, Erg, in Canada, Lord Palmer's house?

Italy again?

Not this time, Your Majesty.

Nor the Emperor and Appelion.

Not even Mr. Gladstone's budget.

But a matter that may have more far-reaching consequences than any of them.

Yes.

We have heard for some time of unrest in America.

A trickle of southern states seceding from the Union.

Now that trickle has become a flood.

Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, among others.

They have proclaimed themselves the Confederate states of America

with one Jefferson Davis as their president.

What will it mean?

In my opinion, inevitably, civil war in America.

Release Confederate states expect us to support them.

They cannot survive without us.

The question will be, are they rebels?

Or should your Majesty's government recognize them as a new nation?

I thought you would have gone there when you took that last fence, Nati.

Don't worry about him.

The rust jars have got the best tables in England.

I'd like to show them to you if you'd visit us.

Well, I'm free to choose. I will. I promise you.

It will be an honor, sir.

How's your dramatic society coming on?

Oh, very well. We're doing another production next month.

The heads would never have allowed it if you hadn't been president.

Oh, my family is always supported.

The doors are closed.

Talking of the drama.

Why don't you who's thinking of going up to town tonight?

London. Well, sir, little music hall in Herban.

Nothing pretentious. Just thought we might go there by tweet,

meet some music company. A night on the town.

Why don't you join us?

Me? Oh, I've never done anything like that before.

Why don't you for once? It's very discreet.

I've never done anything like that before.

Why don't you for once? It's very discreet.

They don't give me very much money.

That's no problem. I've never been anywhere on my own before.

I'd love to come, but General Bruce would never let me.

Unless...

...or a turn to the London, please.

Come on, now.

Once I was happy, but now I'm forlorn.

Like an old coat that is tattered and tall.

Left on this wide world to fret and to mourn.

Betrayed by a boy in his teens.

The boy that I loved, he was handsome.

I tried all I knew out, please.

I could not please him one horse so well.

That man on the flying truck is...

Oh!

He flies early!

Yeah, we're the greatest!

It's the very young man on the flying truck is...

His movements were graceful. All girls, eager, please.

And finally, stolen.

Oh!

Hey!

See you all on the side!

I say, as a cracker.

I'll tell you soon enough.

Very good.

The old, loudly round, with a vase from all people there.

Excuse me, sir.

You mind coming this way, please?

How could you?

How could a son of mine stoop to anything so base?

Excuse me, sir.

You mind coming this way, please?

How could you?

How could a son of mine stoop to anything so base?

I've done nothing!

Nothing!

You're being guilty of the most flagrant breach of confidence.

Where were you going?

Out to dinner.

With whom? With... friends.

I can really imagine such friends.

Half of you have done this before.

It was the first time.

Do you expect me to believe that?

I swear it!

Then I'm grateful for the vigilance of your governor.

Heaven knows not might have happened.

How did he...

He thought you had cheated him.

He went out there walk only to find when he came back that you had sneaked out like a thief.

Fortunately, he was able to trace your movements and telegraph the palace before any public scandal could be caused.

To think that I should have to send servants to apprehend my own son.

I was only...

You wish to cause your mother the deepest distress.

To bring shame upon your family.

Of course not.

And you did the time when people are looking to the crown as never before to set an example for honesty and morality.

You deliberately said out the destroyed character and reputation.

You were sent to Cambridge to work not to study vice.

If you're not happy, what else do you think you can do?

All I want is to please you.

But at university, all my life, it's like being in a prison.

If only I could do something useful if I had some aim in life.

Such ass.

I begged you to let me join the army.

And I've said no repeatedly and given you my reasons.

You are incapable of thinking of anything but your own selfish desires.

You will be sent back to Cambridge under escort.

No!

Untie escort!

General Bruce has allowed your measure of freedom of late.

And see how you have abused him. You will ask his forgiveness.

Yes.

Upon his report, your future depends.

Until you have shown yourself thoroughly penitent and reformed, you will go nowhere, see no one without his punishment.

I myself shall take a closer personal care of your behaviour.

Yes, father.

Now get out, I can't bear the sight of you.

I am not a good friend.

It is as I feel, sir.

The new president of the Union, Lincoln, is a fine man,

but he's been unable to prevent his people from rushing into war.

America is now two nations, totally divided.

Do please sit down.

Thank you, sir.

But surely the southern states cannot hope to win against the industrial power of the North.

If I do the best survival, already they've had their first success, the capture of Fort Sumter.

Other states about have joined.

It is appalling.

Yes.

We have still left undecided the question as to whether we had to recognise the Confederacy.

It's dangerous, but we have to consider that a large part of our trade is with the cotton producers of the South.

I'd welcome your advice, sir.

I think we must recognise that not to do, sir, would be dishonest and unrealistic.

But at the same time, we must not be influenced by the necessities of trade.

We must not give them comfort.

Great Britain cannot support a nation whose principal reason for existence is the defence of slavery.

That is the opinion of Her Majesty and of myself.

And I believe of the majority of your people, sir.

And if I may use your words, they shall become the opinion of my government.

I leave it all to Albert.

I'm only too glad to politics sicken me. I have just been writing to Vicki.

I don't understand why there has to be all this change.

Always change.

Of course people should be given a chance to lead better lives if they are capable of it.

But most things are best left alone.

I blame it all on the railways.

The railways, ma'am.

All this rushing about. It makes the whole country unsettled.

No, you mark my words. It'll affect us all, van der.

Well, I won't be there to see it.

Oh, don't say that, ma'am.

No, it's true.

And I don't mind.

What's to come doesn't interest me.

Oh, it does me.

Albert has so many plans and everyone, even the politicians, respect his judgement so much.

I only fear is that something might happen to me.

I dread the thought of Bertie becoming king.

It's a strange thought.

But I think you underestimate him, perhaps.

Is he or I am hurting you?

Not more than usual. You should have it examined.

They are not cutting me up.

It has gone on too long, ma'am.

I've stood it so far. I'm like you. I can bear anything.

Yes. I only wish Albert were the same. He gives in to the slightest illness.

That's because he works too hard and expects everyone else to.

Albert.

Listen.

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

We were just talking about you.

Couldn't you find someone more? I'm using to gossip about her.

Bertie?

Oh.

General Bruce says he's suitably chastened.

He's even making an effort, but...

Oh, he tries hard, but he has no staying power.

I just don't know what to do about him.

It's simple. Marry him off as soon as possible.

That'll give him something to think about.

The right wife will settle him down.

Do you think it would work?

It always does.

You will report little miss before you married.

Look at you now.

But we couldn't just tell him who he was to marry like the girls.

He'd have to have a choice.

Of course.

Make a list of all the available princesses from 14 to 13.

That'll give him something to think about.

Yes.

And why don't you let him go into the army?

Oh, nothing permanent.

Let him do some training since he's so set on it.

The discipline will be good for him and...

prepare him for marriage?

Oh, yes, Mar.

Why didn't you suggest it before?

Because you didn't ask me.

I'm not just a silly old woman, you know.

I'm writing to Vicki.

She knows all the German princesses.

And can make a list of the others.

Oh, and you, dearest, can make arrangements about the training.

Well, I suppose I could speak to General Bruce if he thought it possible or advisable.

We could...

consider it.

How about you?

You will leave us alone, please.

Yes, Papa.

I was delighted to get your letter, sir.

Sir, you think it is a good idea?

In his case, it would not only fulfill an ambition, but the discipline and strict attention to duty could only help him.

How do you think it could be done?

Well, a period of intensive training.

Of course, with the Prince of Wales, it would have to be the best available.

I hesitate to suggest my old regiment, but...

the Grenadiers are the best.

With the added advantage that your royal highness is Colonel and Chief of the Regiment.

Oh, yes, yes.

That still leaves the question of moral example.

I would not recommend the London barracks.

Oh, certainly not.

It's as usual for the young officers there to keep a woman, as to keep a horse.

Unfortunately, there's no risk of that with the Prince.

He is still completely innocent.

Yes, I know, but it's not.

I'm not sure.

It's completely innocent.

Yes, I know, but it troubles me.

Have you thought, sir, when you would like the training to begin?

Don't know that he's settled yet.

The final decision rests with Her Majesty.

But, of course, sir.

She was the kindest of mothers, the noblest, noblest of women.

Yes, yes.

He never knew how much he loved her.

But you proved it again and again these last years.

Even only I could believe that.

It is right to mourn parents, but you have wept for weeks now.

You must think of your duty to your country to others.

What, others?

Your government, your children.

God, may anyone near me accept you and Alice.

That is waiting to see you.

No!

Him Mr. Hall!

He showed no feeling at the master.

He felt it deeply as we all did.

He talks too loudly.

I can't better thought of him being here all summer, laughing and playing games.

Sleepy.

I don't want to see anyone.

What a way.

Yes.

I had to comfort your mother.

Your mother is too distressed to see anyone.

You must remember that she was estranged from the Duchess of Kent for many years.

She feels her loss deeply.

I know.

One can only admire such diversion.

Ham.

Hey, please.

Ham Majesty the Queen, having directed at his royal highness the Prince of Wales, is to proceed to...

Ireland for the purpose of acquiring military instruction.

His royal highness will join the current division on the staff...

and will be attached for the purpose of drill to the First Battalion Grenadier Guards.

Father.

You really violent before the end of the month?

I can't believe it.

It's what you altered.

Yes.

Yes, only.

Hey.

I wanted to start as a subaltern and work my way up.

But you will receive a subaltern's training to begin with.

But I'm to go as a staff cone.

I have no idea if the duties the other officers may rescind.

No one expects you to know anything.

You're going for instruction.

I remember it 24 years of 10 weeks at that time we may have other plans for you.

Yes.

I don't worry, Bertie.

You will wear a kindness uniform as befits your station.

But you'll be treated just like any other, junior officer.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's a George Brown, sir. General Officer Commanding Island.

We'll present Colonel Percy, sir.

Sir.

Would you like to proceed, sir?

Car de bonant!

Royal salute!

Present!

Fight!

Go on, sir.

Go on, sir.

Show it up!

Hey!

Would you care to inspect the guards, sir?

Colonel Capal.

And Captain Fitzroy Clay.

Colonel Percy will be your commanding officer, sir.

And he will be solely responsible for your tuition.

You'll be attached to the ninth, company, sir.

I shall be your instructor in company battalion in brigade drill.

Your instructors in the manual and the first and second positions will be Sergeant Major Baker, Andrew Sergeant Haycock.

Sir, sir.

I'll be your director of the second position.

I'll be your director of the second position.

I'll be your director of the second position.

I'll be your director of the second positions will be Sergeant Major Baker, Andrew Sergeant Haycock.

Perhaps you'd like Colonel Percy to show your quarters, sir.

This, of course, is the sitting room.

Your bedroom is through there, sir.

I hope they're satisfactory.

Oh, very?

I haven't expected anything so comfortable.

I thought we were all in wooden hats.

Your trunks have arrived, sir.

Your Batman should have unpacked them by now.

Thank you.

I'm terribly sorry, sir.

Oh, it must have belonged to the previous occupant.

Yes.

Sorry.

I can't think how it has ever looked.

Oh, he'll be glad not to have lost it.

Oh.

I haven't turned anyone out, have I?

It's an honor, sir.

Whose quarter's worth ease?

Not yours.

The Georges, sir.

Sir Georges.

And where is he now?

In a brigadier's hut nearby.

Well, if you'll excuse me, sir.

I hope to have the honor of seeing you in the mess later.

Yes, yes, of course.

Why?

Why?

It was Royal Highness, your father.

Ask that you should be given quarters suitable to a field officer in Prince of the Blood.

Oh, but doesn't he see everything started just the way I hope to avoid?

How can they accept me now?

Your attitude is very commendable, but I shouldn't worry too much.

Colonel Percy is a first street soldier of EC in the crime of year.

I know.

He may be very respectful here and in the mess, but on the parade ground.

You find him quite different.

Father, where have you been?

Reading well in your story. Thank you, man.

Have you heard from him?

A letter from the bar.

How is your mother?

He's very worried about her.

I think he's pretty...

No, no, no, no, no.

You know your parents tend to over dramatize themselves since their feelings.

You wanted to go to Balmora?

Good.

In Scotland, she will have peace and quiet.

She has lost her mother, but she still has her husband and family.

She's so concerned about them all, especially Bertie.

Does he know yet that he's going to be married?

No.

Who I've been making a list of princesses.

What?

I have read it.

You can't be serious.

Why not?

Well, Agosto von Meiningen, she's still a child.

So?

Completely undeveloped.

And the arty of Prussia.

Not poor, arty.

How hard?

Marie von Altenborg.

She would flight in Frankenstein.

And the Danish girl, no, that's impossible, political.

Well, I just wrote them all down.

He's only to give Bertie something to think about.

I'm sure he's in no hurry.

And now he's doing what he's always wanted to, he'll have as those things on his mind.

I'll be of Prussia.

My God.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

So my instructions are that you'll die in twice a week in the regimental mess.

And once a week is the guest of other regiments.

Twice a week you'll give dinner parties to senior officers.

And on the two remaining evenings you will die in your own quarters and read your right always on Sundays.

Yes.

That's your training.

You will earn the duties of every rank from Ensign Upways without spending longer than a strictly necessary to any one.

And that way you should earn promotion every fortnight.

And at the end of ten weeks arrive at the command of a battalion.

Is it possible?

Theoretically sir.

You may depend on the funeral to be completely fair.

Thank you.

Would you mind if I circulated a bit?

I feel I ought to get to know my fellow officers.

I'd welcome it sir.

In that case if you'd excuse me.

So here.

You'll find him very willing.

So I see you.

And different from what I expected.

Mm-hmm.

Charlie.

Hello sir.

I just believe in me.

What are you doing here?

Oh, spot of training sir like you.

Which company?

Fifth.

Oh.

Still I fancy we'll train together.

May I present Fred Crichton?

Sir.

How do you do?

Oh, Daphington.

Sir.

And Ralph Feiner.

Sir.

Thank heaven for a few friendly faces.

Ha ha ha.

Won't you sit down sir?

Oh, thank you sir.

Please sir.

Of course, Jen.

We're all hoping the Sergeant Major is going to concentrate on you for a little instead of on us.

He's an absolute demon on the bread ground.

Scott will move to the right in force.

Form.

Force.

Right.

Scott.

Run.

Wake up sir.

You're inattentive.

What are you laughing for your royal highness?

Look to your front sir.

Half-right face wake up sir.

Scott front.

Half-left face.

Saluting by numbers to the front.

One.

Etude.

One.

Scott two.

Scott front as you work.

Scott front.

Scott front.

Etude.

Scott front.

Standard.

East.

Standard.

East.

It's not more beautiful here than the other side.

You have lost your shawl.

Bye bye.

I will go and look for it.

I'm sorry Grant.

It's no trouble.

Will you be all right?

Oh I'm sure I shall.

Well mind you are now.

This royal highness would never forgive me.

Oh.

There!

Grant thinks I'll cry in heavier.

Do you?

Not at all.

Well perhaps just a try.

You two are so alike.

One of you at least might flatter you.

Go on.

Go on.

Go on.

Go on.

Go on.

Go on.

Go on.

Carry on sir.

Quarter column.

Right and left wheel.

Quick.

March.

Company!

Go!

Standard A.

Not right there but yet sir.

Your word of command is too indistinct and you don't think ahead.

Oh how sure.

What the sweet little room.

I'm glad they haven't given you anywhere pretensions.

I assure you ma'am it's very comfortable.

Well you mustn't expect that actually.

Oh I thought you did splendidly.

I only carried out a lot of tenants duties.

Well whatever you did you did it very well.

You're good to mark my new.

You're not progressed as far as I'd hoped but I'm particularly pleased

by the good reports of your conduct.

I want to thank you Colonel Percy for treating my son exactly as you would any other officer.

I do hope he appreciates it.

His Royal Highness would accept no other treatment ma'am.

Oh good.

You look very fine in your uniform.

White grown up.

Though I believe there's a tendency to grow out as well.

The army must be feeding you too well.

I wonder would it be possible for me to inspect the kitchen arrangements in the camp?

Certainly ma'am.

I was wondering whether something could not be done to improve the tone of conversation in the mess.

I bet some strange people are already.

Bertie.

No.

I thought you did jolly well. I was proud of you.

So is I. We all were.

We were terribly nervous.

I think I agree with Vicki.

All the German princesses seem to be ruled out.

It's such a pity.

She speaks very highly of the little Danish girl.

Contact would never do.

Some of her relations are not quite respectable.

And it would cause great offence to Prussia.

Well we'll only consider her as a last resort.

I'm sorry.

Maybe join us.

Don't have to.

There's something wrong, sir.

No, no, it's just...

Well I didn't think anyone much wanted to talk to me.

Why?

Well I haven't exactly been a shining success.

You've done wonders, sir.

Well miracles in such a short time.

My parents don't think so.

With respect, sir, they don't know. They've forgotten how difficult it is.

All the officers, everyone's amazed.

You've done two years work in two months.

Did they really say that?

They wish they had a chance to show you.

But the way things are...

How do you mean?

Well sir, they'd like to give you a proper regimental party.

But General Bruce has put a stop to it.

Bruce is out tonight. He's dining with the GOC.

So you'll be alone?

Could we, um...

Well could we use your quarters, sir?

Mine.

Well there wouldn't be room for many.

Oh there'll only be a fewers.

Come on, Johnny. See you later, sir.

Now leave the wine to me.

Will you do that?

Yeah.

Sir?

All clear, sir.

Yes.

Thank you.

Hello, my crew.

Hello, my crew.

Hello, my crew.

Hello, my crew.

Hello, my crew.

Now sir, may I present Miss Nelly Clifton?

Glided.

Miss Clifton is a talented singer, sir.

Really?

I go to the opera quite often.

Holgra? I'm playing at the palace.

The palace music called Dublin's.

What do you want me, Johnny?

Oh, thank you.

Well, cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Hey.

Hello, my crew.

Yes, yes.

others committed.

Go on again, baby.

Whoo!

Whoo!

Oh, my gosh.

Hey!

Hey!

Go, Mikey!

Go, go!
