:52:00
For all the flowers
in your great gardens,
:52:03
I know you in my nose.
:52:06
Keep your stink off my name,
:52:08
or by God, I will clip you
as close as one of your gelded trees,
:52:12
and this carrion you keep
will not come between us!
:52:20
What pride to use
a fellow peer in public so!
:52:24
Damn his pride!
:52:30
Forgive me.
:52:33
Damn His Grace's pride.
:52:51
Why is it so beyond your belief
:52:53
that he might have yielded
to the sight of all that money?
:52:56
Unguarded, unasked, but there
:52:58
a lifetime's wages in a bag.
:53:00
Because I know him.
I know him more than half his life.
:53:04
But was he ever handed £1,000 before?
:53:06
He was handed a hundred times more.
:53:08
He was given trust, and he repaid in kind.
:53:11
Why do you not believe me?
:53:13
All right, Rob.
:53:15
He did not steal from you.
:53:17
But he has gone, the money's gone,
:53:19
and Montrose will not care
if you believe one thing or the other.
:53:23
- That's another matter.
- No. That's the only matter now.
:53:26
For all our sakes, Robert,
you must take off your high hat,
:53:30
and make what terms you can.
:53:32
Else our home is lost
and ourselves His Lordship's tenants.
