:19:00
This is the way we deal with
America. I'll teach you, sirs!

:19:04
Take that, Mr Colonist!
:19:05
And that, sir!
:19:07
And that!
:19:08
Fetch the queen.
:19:12
No, no. That's not cricket.
Don't hold the bat like that.

:19:15
What is he doing?
:19:18
Over there. Out of the way.
:19:21
- Run!
- How's that?

:19:23
Out!
:19:24
- Yay!
- Oh, good God!

:19:27
Well done. Well done, lads.
:19:29
'The following day,
he rose before dawn,'

:19:31
went round to the provost
of Eton's lodgings,

:19:34
and battering on the door,
:19:35
roused the provost and commanded
him to show him the chapel!

:19:39
So?
:19:40
Lord Chancellor,
it was still dark.

:19:42
Have we finished this catalogue
of regal nonconformities?

:19:51

:19:59
the colonies.
:20:01
Captain Fitzroy,
for the strongest reasons,

:20:05
both foreign and domestic...
:20:09
a degree of discretion.
:20:11
And a hold on public functions.
No levees or concerts.

:20:16
Just, uh... just... Hmm?
:20:20
The cork's too
tight in the bottle. That's it.

:20:23
He must be the first king
not to have a mistress.

:20:27
15 children
seem to me to indicate

:20:30
a degree of conscientiousness
in that regard.

:20:32
I'm talking of pleasure,
not duty.

:20:35
Actually,
there was a mysterious illness

:20:37
once before
in your father's time.

:20:39
Government was at a standstill.
:20:41
Well, it was of no consequence.
:20:43
It was of no consequence
because he recovered.

:20:46
It was of no consequence
because the Prince of Wales

:20:48
was a child of three
:20:50
and because Mr Fox
and his friends

:20:53
were not perched in the rafters
waiting to come in.

:20:58
We consider ourselves blessed
in our constitution.
