1:27:07
Are you nervous?
1:27:10
So am I.
All these people.

1:27:18
It seems so strange and unbelievable,
our being here.

1:27:21
Do you remember the day
of the governor's party...

1:27:23
when poor Hilary Carson
suggested you run for election?

1:27:27
- I never really thought-
- I remember.

1:27:30
It must have come to his mind
that very moment...

1:27:32
because when he came out
to the house that morning-

1:27:36
- He came out to the house?
- Yes.

1:27:40
You knew Carson rather well, didn't you?
1:27:44
Well- No.
L- I wouldn't say well.

1:27:48
Why?
1:27:50
Why did he come out
to the house?

1:27:53
It had to do with
the Belfontaine Fund.

1:27:56
The Belfontaine Fund?
1:27:58
Yes, he wanted to find out
what sort of a gift your father wanted.

1:28:02
It was intended to be some sort
of token of his services to Santa Marta.

1:28:06
He said don't mention it to anybody,
particularly Maxwell.

1:28:08
It was intended as a surprise.
1:28:10
That's all. That's all it was.
1:28:13
Of course.
What did you imagine it was?

1:28:18
It's time to start.
1:28:27
May I have
your attention, please?

1:28:31
I'm here tonight as chairman of a meeting
at which Mr. Maxwell Fleury...

1:28:36
who is offering himself as your representative
in the Legislative Council...

1:28:41
will explain his position to you.
1:28:45
Now, you all know Mr. Fleury.
1:28:48
Few West Indian families
bear a name as respected as his.

1:28:52
- Mr. Fleury.
- [Applause]
