Beautiful.
1:23:48
But are all Spanish songs so sad,
my child?
1:23:51
Only those that speak of love, Your Grace.
1:23:54
You speak of it eloquently, my dear.
1:23:56
I daresay each of us must choose
between loving a man or ruling him.
1:24:01
I prefer to rule.
1:24:03
I don't quarrel with your choice, Maria.
1:24:05
You have your song...
1:24:07
and I have my scepter.
1:24:09
Now sing us one that is gay.
1:24:22
Don Alvarez, is your business so urgent...
1:24:24
that it must intrude
upon my few moments of diversion?
1:24:27
Your Grace, I have just had
a communication from Spain...
1:24:30
that I feel sure
will command your interest.
1:24:33
It concerns the privateer Geoffrey Thorpe.
1:24:37
What about him?
1:24:38
While attempting a raid
on the Panama treasure caravan...
1:24:40
he was captured by Spanish troops...
1:24:43
and is now a condemned prisoner
on one of His Majesty's galleys.
1:24:57
My child.
