There's to be a very important
conference in this house next week.

:30:05
People of great stature will be
His Lordship's guests.

:30:09
We must all put our best foot forward.
:30:13
Because of Father's recent accident...
:30:16
...it has been suggested that you
no longer wait at table.

:30:24
I've waited at table every day...
:30:27
...for the last 54 years.
:30:32
It has also been decided that you
should no longer carry heavy trays.

:30:36
Now, here's a revised list
of your duties.

:30:40
Look, I fell...
:30:42
...because of those paving stones.
:30:44
They're crooked.
:30:46
Why don't you get them put right
before someone else falls?

:30:51
You will read the revised list
of your duties.

:30:55
Get those stones put right.
:30:59
You don't want those "gentlemen of
stature" breaking their necks.

:31:06
No, indeed, I don't.
:31:26
What is it?
:31:51
You have what we can call
a roving commission.

:31:54
In other words, you can exercise
your own judgment...

:31:58
...within certain limits, of course.
