:28:06
Are you nervous?
:28:09
So am I.
All these people.
:28:17
It seems so strange and unbelievable,
our being here.
:28:20
Do you remember the day
of the governor's party...
:28:22
when poor Hilary Carson
suggested you run for election?
:28:26
- I never really thought-
- I remember.
:28:29
It must have come to his mind
that very moment...
:28:31
because when he came out
to the house that morning-
:28:35
- He came out to the house?
- Yes.
:28:39
You knew Carson rather well, didn't you?
:28:43
Well- No.
L- I wouldn't say well.
:28:47
Why?
:28:49
Why did he come out
to the house?
:28:52
It had to do with
the Belfontaine Fund.
:28:55
The Belfontaine Fund?
:28:57
Yes, he wanted to find out
what sort of a gift your father wanted.
:29:01
It was intended to be some sort
of token of his services to Santa Marta.
:29:05
He said don't mention it to anybody,
particularly Maxwell.
:29:07
It was intended as a surprise.
:29:09
That's all. That's all it was.
:29:12
Of course.
What did you imagine it was?
:29:17
It's time to start.
:29:26
May I have
your attention, please?
:29:28

I'm here tonight as chairman of a meeting
at which Mr. Maxwell Fleury...
:29:35
who is offering himself as your representative
in the Legislative Council...
:29:40
will explain his position to you.
:29:44
Now, you all know Mr. Fleury.
:29:47
Few West Indian families
bear a name as respected as his.
:29:51
- Mr. Fleury.
- [Applause]
