Mrs Cordwell,
:51:01
Captain Cordwell drowned
:51:03
off the Goodwin Sands
three years since.

:51:08
But he is very like.
:51:12
Back to work, Mrs Cordwell.
:51:20
Dr Willis?
:51:30
I must have
certain undertakings...

:51:33
authority over the patient,
:51:35
access to him at all times.
:51:37
You will reside here at Windsor,
:51:39
and Parliament
will have to be kept informed,

:51:42
so you will need
to write bulletins.

:51:45
They must be confident,
:51:46
optimistic.
:51:48
The survival of the government
depends upon it.

:51:54
And, Dr Willis,
:51:56
you are my doctor.
:51:59
Do you understand?
:52:01
I'm the king's doctor, sir.
:52:03
It is the same thing.
:52:13
In here, sir.
:52:20
Yes.
:52:22
Do you know, Mr Greville,
:52:24
the state of monarchy
and the state of lunacy

:52:27
share a frontier?
:52:32
Some of my lunatics
fancy themselves kings.

:52:35
He...
:52:39
is the king.
:52:42
Where shall his fancy
take refuge?

:52:46
We do not use the word lunatic,
sir, in relation to His Majesty.

:52:51
Oh.
:52:54
Well, who's to say
what's normal in a king? Hmm?

:52:57
Deferred to, agreed with,
acquiesced in.
