:52:02
Or perhaps for the Queen.
:52:05
Hereafter we shall do better
to rely on our own devices...
:52:07
than on the assurances of a clever woman.
:52:10
Surely she would not neglect
to inform her Lord Chancellor...
:52:13
of the nature
of such an important voyage?
:52:16
Her Grace did inform me...
:52:17
that Capt. Thorpe is undertaking
a trading expedition up the Nile.
:52:21
I pretended to believe her.
:52:24
Does that reassure Your Excellency?
:52:26
Forgive me, milord,
if any suspicion crossed my mind.
:52:30
His Majesty King Phillip
has implicit confidence...
:52:32
in your loyalty to his interests.
:52:35
His Gracious Majesty and I
have an interest in common.
:52:39
A ruler friendly to Spain
on the throne of England.
:52:43
Like you, Lord Wolfingham?
:52:46
Don Alvarez, we serve others best...
:52:48
when at the same time
we serve ourselves.
:53:01
Sure you have enough information
on these waters?
:53:03
Every bay and inlet for harboring a ship,
soundings accurate, not a reef missing.
:53:07
That's what I want.
I'll send for it on Wednesday.
:53:10
I'll have it ready for you, sir.
You can rely on me.
:53:12
I don't want any printing on the chart,
you understand? No names at all.
:53:16
No names. Very good, sir.
:53:17
- Good day.
- Good day, Capt. Thorpe.
:53:20
I'll have it ready for you Wednesday.
:53:34
- How do you do, gentlemen?
- Are you the chart maker?
:53:37
- At your service.
- I am Lord Wolfingham.
:53:40
This is Don Alvarez de Cordoba,
ambassador from King Phillip of Spain.
:53:43
I am honored, Your Excellency and milord.
:53:45
I've been boasting to His Excellency
about English chart-making.
:53:49
I'm anxious for him
to see samples of your work.
:53:51
Perhaps some charts
you are in process of making?
:53:53
Certainly, sir.
:53:54
Would His Excellency
prefer navigation charts or maps?
:53:57
The charts, please.
:53:58
My government may wish
to compare them with their own.
