:37:00
l have seen the Times, Airey.
:37:03
''Black bottle.''
:37:06
l'm very worried about the British army
when it gets into the newspapers.

:37:11
Whatever Lord Cardigan does
is public news within an hour.

:37:15
-lt is unfitting.
-''Black bottle.''

:37:18
-What?
-What is shouted at him when he goes out?

:37:22
lt do bring the army up for snooks,
you know.

:37:25
Vulgar things.
:37:27
Shouldn't say these vulgar things
at him, Airey.

:37:32
But what can we do?
:37:39
Where are they going to
put that statue, Airey?

:37:42
lt can't stay there,
to be enjoyed by me alone.

:37:45
They won't leave it there.
They don't know where to put it.

:37:48
lt's very much in my light
for paperwork, Airey.

:37:51
l wish they'd take it away.
:37:53
You and l are always of the custom,
when in difficulty, to ask ourselves...

:37:58
...how the great Duke would have acted
and decided in similar circumstances.

:38:02
We are. l am. l will.
:38:10
He was surely right
that when there is danger...

:38:14
...it is the persons with a stake in
the country, land, position, wealth...

:38:19
...that are best able to able to defend it.
:38:25
l am an old man, Airey...
:38:27
...and l've only got one arm
to fight the war with.

:38:32
lt won't be enough.
:38:41
Duberly says it's going to be war.
:38:43
He says the Russians will fight...
:38:45
...and the Prime Minister is faced
towards peace, but carried towards war.

:38:50
Duberly says l can go with the army.
:38:54
l can go, Duberly says, as a wife,
which l am. lsn't it exciting?

:38:59
-William wants to go.
-Soldiers will.
