00:00You
00:30I
00:32I
00:57Minister is offering his supporters a bride
00:59This is what he says this is what he says if you vote for the second reading of the Irish home rule bill a bill
01:07Which you do not approve of in your hearts and which you disbelieve
01:12Vote for this bill
01:13I cannot any rate promise you that for the next 12 months at least you will not be sent back to your constituencies
01:20I
01:27This is the noble policy of the right honourable gentlemen and the noble motives by which he appeals to Parliament
01:35Vote for anything you like you are committed to nothing
01:44What then they are committed to home rule certainly
01:50I
01:53Prime minister surprises me
02:00Does he contend that by voting for the second reading of the bill members can be committed to it
02:12Mr.. Gladstone to the principle of the bill yes
02:20I
02:25Jenny he's done it
02:29Will let me also
02:31Thank You Francis
02:34I'm sorry. I couldn't come earlier, but the Duchess was there, and you know how suspicious
02:39She is besides it was all really very exciting Randolph's almost certainly brought down the government again
02:44I thought he did that last year
02:46Oh, but this time Gladstone will have to go to the country and he'll be trounced utterly trounced
02:50And we'll be in with a proper majority and Randolph will be prime minister. Oh, but I
02:57Congratulate you well, so you should
02:59May not be very exciting for you Charles, but for us it is you know very
03:04I'm sorry
03:06I was being selfish. I was thinking how busy you will be
03:10Well, I expect I'll find a few hours free from official duties
03:15As
03:18He looked a little I thought under the weather when I saw him in Paris
03:22He's all right. He lives on his nerves. That's all this will buck him up. No way and he only lives for politics
03:28There are other things to life you know not for him
03:34But does he provide them for you
03:39Well we're utterly broke if that's what you mean, that's not what I mean
03:48Charles I must go. I shouldn't have come at all, but I did want to see you again. Did you have a good time?
03:55My mother was a reproachful as usual. She thinks it's pure selfishness in me not to marry
04:00My father caused it a responsibility
04:03Wikinski's come for a very long line, you know father to son. I
04:07Wish you didn't go away so much. I
04:10Need you then stay. Oh, I can't I'm sorry Randolph will be waiting down
04:17Good night, darling
04:32I've got a tremendous new line for my election address Jenny the Liberals will never forgive me
04:37I'm going to attack the grand old man for being far more old than grand. Oh, is that fair? Oh, no, of course not
04:44Well, I'm going to say that he's he's only insisting on home rule now because he thinks he's going to die
04:49It's just to gratify the ambition of an old man in a hurry
04:53You're almost as wicked as he is himself
04:55Impossible he's base. He's
04:58Nefarious I am simply
05:01whacked
05:03Well, then you better go to bed
05:06Well, I'd be in bed now, but I wanted to talk to you
05:10Really, I never know when I shall see you these days
05:13Randolph I'm not always
05:16At the house or my club
05:19Or in Paris. Yes. Well our lives just don't seem to coincide as much as they did do they?
05:27Anyway, I wanted to tell you about my campaign. Well, tell me then there isn't going to be one
05:31I shall address what my revered leader calls the uninstructed populace of my own borough and then
05:38If you don't mind, I'll I'll push off till it's all over
05:43Oh
05:45Where to this time?
05:47Well, Tommy Trafford's invited me to Norway up some unnavigable fjord miles from the nearest post office. Just what I want
05:54Bags of salmon he says if anyone asks
06:00Even your mother
06:04You can tell her that I am preparing myself for the onerous task of governing the country
06:08Anyway, I'll be back by the time we get the full results in if Salisbury protests tell him it's doctor's orders
06:15You didn't tell me you'd been to see dr. Roos. Well, I expect you weren't here. No, I wasn't
06:21Anyways, a splendid quack recommends holidays for everything. Hmm
06:26Well, I'd better get to bed
06:33Yes, yes
06:38Yes, I just felt faint for a moment good night see you in the morning
06:54You're very late my dear
06:59We've missed you
07:01We're trying to find a suitable office for Randolph Charles. What do you think the war office? Of course?
07:08We saw belligerent Duchess
07:11He should be here now fighting for himself
07:14It's really too bad going off the timeline. Jenny should never have allowed it. Jenny wasn't consulted
07:21What office would you like Randolph to have? Oh the Treasury, of course so we could lay our hands on some money
07:29Economy it was never your strong point my dear. I
07:33I
07:34Wouldn't have thought it was exactly Randolph's either. You ought to be here, you know
07:38He will be at the end of the week. Oh good. I hope he's fit again. We've all been rather worried
07:44Lord Salisbury will start worrying when Randolph gets back
07:58Thank You gentry good night my lady good night
08:02Good night my lord
08:19Is dr. Ruth pleased with you darling after your holiday I
08:23am
08:24Salisbury is making me
08:26Chancellor of the Exchequer
08:29Chancellor how marvelous and leader of the House of Commons. Oh
08:36Darling I'm glad you're pleased because it's all you're getting good night
08:52When can you found the time he's always so busy he says he is he says he's always at his club or at the house
08:57but
08:58Laney he must have been lying and lying to me and all the time. I've been flirting with Charles. He's been
09:03Who can it be? How can I've been so stupid to flirt? Oh Laney for God's sake. You don't know what I've been going through
09:10He won't even speak to me
09:16Well, do look on the bright side you have got Charles Charles has nothing to do with it. Are you sure Jenny?
09:24I'm very fond of him and he's very fond of me, but
09:28We're nothing more. I swear
09:30And Randolph's always told me when he thought I was you know
09:34He's never said anything like that about Charles. He likes him. Oh, it's not bad. It's another woman. I just know it is
09:40I can't think who
09:42Of course, he does say he doesn't like fine ladies. It's just a try to shock you. He doesn't mean that
09:47Well, he told me he preferred him
09:49Rough sort of woman. Oh nonsense
09:52Anyway, what were you doing talking to him about things like that? Oh, that's all rubbish
09:55I tell you he's in love with someone now. He wouldn't fall in love with a tart. It's not what they're for
10:00Perhaps one of his men friends would know I
10:03Couldn't ask them. You know how men stick together
10:06There's always the Duchess
10:08Well, he wouldn't tell her she might know though. Oh
10:12I couldn't go to her. She'd triumph over me and lecture me. Anyway, she hates me
10:18Have you spoken to Charles about it?
10:20Well, I didn't offer myself to him as some poor humiliated woman really Lanny
10:24I thought you'd be some help. If you will try and run two men at once. Oh, don't criticize me. I want help.
10:30I think you're too proud altogether. Go away
10:33Well, if you won't talk to Charles and you won't talk to the Duchess, there's only one other person who can help you darling
10:44Go away
10:46I
10:48Said go away
10:52Darling can't we even discuss it? Am I to have no peace in my own house?
11:00What's happened
11:02Jenny I
11:04Do not wish to be disturbed get out and leave me alone
11:09Get out
11:12Get out
11:17But
11:20He's doing so well
11:22Everyone is so impressed
11:24Arthur says his moderation in the house has been I
11:28Simply can't understand it. Some awful woman's got all of him. I'm quite sure that's
11:33Well, what else could it be? Why would it be?
11:37You quite sure you've told me everything I mean nothing could have got to his ears
11:46I'd love to make mischief Jenny, especially if I may say so that smart heartless set you go about with
11:52Some of them would be very glad to see you humbled. I have no doubt
11:55He's another woman
11:58He's really very fond of you in his heart, I know he is he was
12:08Would you like to speak to him I
12:12Don't think he'd ever talk to me again if he knew I'd been to see you
12:14I just thought maybe you might know something which I
12:19Of course you should have come to me and I'm very glad you did I
12:25Nothing directly, of course, I won't even hint but
12:35I'm going to give you just one little piece of advice
12:39You must keep your troubles to yourself Jenny. You have such a tell-tale face
12:45You mustn't let people know there's so much wrong as the shadow of a shrimp.
12:49But I'm trying!
12:51And another thing
12:53You are clever and and young and attractive
12:58Now you must give up that set you see so much on you
13:01Well, life can't be all pleasure
13:04Racing flatting and gossiping. You must sacrifice yourself to the task of winning him back
13:11They're his friends too. Well some of them perhaps but
13:14Randolph is only a step from being Prime Minister now
13:18Neither he nor you can afford friends like that any longer
13:22Who am I supposed to see then?
13:24Well you have your children
13:27My dear you must accept this with patience
13:32Study the domestic virtues for a change. Stay at home. Don't go out so much
13:41My heart aches for you
13:44You mustn't mind what I say. It's only for your own good and because I love you
13:49And I know that Randolph loves you too
13:53The session went quite well I think
13:56Troubled from the Irish of course but
14:00We handled them quite well
14:04As to the future Mama I really don't know
14:08The goat, the foreign office...
14:10Randolph please. You should be above those schoolboy nicknames now
14:15You forced him to go to the Lords. You should be magnanimous in victory
14:20With Lord Iddesley at the foreign office we have no foreign policy
14:24Really I don't think I shall be able to stay in the cabinet if he does
14:27My dear Lord Iddesley is old and slow and you are quick and young
14:31But he has served a very long time and you have not
14:36You must establish yourself as Chancellor before you start to take on your own colleagues
14:42I can't wait for them all to die Mama
14:44You're only 37. You must consolidate your position
14:49Position? I have no position. Not with this lot
14:56They'll never wear my budget I can tell you that now
15:01I'm cutting income tax. They'll like that but to do it
15:05I have to cut expenditure as well and the only place to do that is the war office
15:08And they're a bloodthirsty lot who want more money not less
15:14They'll never wear it
15:16Well you must fight for what you want of course but
15:19Politics is all a matter of compromise as you know perfectly well
15:23Compromise?
15:26Politics is gambling Mama. The only difference is the thrill is more and the prizes are greater
15:31That is not a very statesmanlike attitude Randolph
16:06It's only one job worth having. You play for that or nothing
16:11My dear I do beg you not to attack your own colleagues
16:16People will never trust you if you're always against things and never for them
16:21I'm for things Mama
16:24The next throw of the dice will be at Deptford next week
16:28I'm putting forward a whole new plan of social reform
16:31Together with my ideas for complete alteration in foreign policy
16:35I don't know what the cabinet will think of it. At least you'll see what I'm for
16:44May I see your speech?
16:47I haven't finished it yet
16:49Deptford? I suppose Joanie will be going with you
16:54She may be
16:57How is she?
16:59She seemed rather down in the dumps when I saw her
17:02I expect she's been going through the bills
17:09It's charming
17:11You must feel better
17:13I don't. I don't know why. It's always worked before
17:16I don't understand Jenny why you're taking Randolph's defection so hard
17:20I had hoped you might think it made life altogether easier
17:25Oh did you?
17:27Anything that drives you out of his arms and into mine
17:30And I'd have hoped you wouldn't talk like that Charles
17:33Cynicism is so easy and boring and ordinary. I'd have thought better of you
17:38My dear I'm not one of your woman friends
17:40I have no woman friends
17:42Well you're beautiful. You must expect that
17:44In any case I should have thought it made life very much simpler
17:48Well you're wrong. It doesn't
17:52My dear I quite understand
17:54Your pride is dreadfully hurt because you think there's another woman
17:58Of course there is
18:00Is there?
18:02A man can love a woman for so many years
18:05Just accepting it. Not thinking about it
18:08Letting it go on from day to day
18:11And then suddenly he realizes not only that he doesn't love her anymore
18:16But that he hasn't loved her for years and he's furious
18:20He feels cheated
18:22He turns on her. He says terrible things
18:25Because he's so angry with himself
18:28That's just what you want to think. It's not like that really
18:31Randolph does still love me
18:33That's what you want to think
18:36I would say that all the evidence is against you
18:41And you're delighted of course
18:44Should I be sorry?
18:47You want too much Jenny
18:50You couldn't go on running both of us forever
18:54Why fight?
18:56Why not let Randolph go?
18:59Because he's mine
19:02And I never give up anything that's mine
19:06I've told Salisbury I can't go on
19:09They refuse to accept my cuts in the army estimates
19:12But Salisbury will never wear that
19:14It's all right. I've worked it all out
19:16If he refuses my resignation then my budget goes through
19:19And my position is stronger than ever
19:21If he accepts it the government will fall
19:34You'll smash the Tory party
19:36Well I never liked it
19:38It certainly never liked me
19:40My dear Wolf it's now or never
19:42Gladstone has neatly split the Liberals for and against Home Rule
19:46There is now a solid party of Liberal Unionists
19:49To whom I can bring an equally solid party of Tory Democrats
19:52For the first time in my life I shall have some congenial political allies
19:56If Salisbury accepts my resignation I fully expect to be back in office within a month
20:01Supported by a new centre party with all the old muffs on both sides
20:04Stuck out in the wilderness forever
20:08It's brilliant
20:10It's dazzling
20:14And what if Salisbury can do without you?
20:18Then I'm ruined
20:22I'll take up racing
20:27Good morning my lady
20:29Good morning Gentry
20:32Thank you
20:35Thank you
20:55Randolph?
20:57Randolph?
21:04Quite a surprise for you
21:18It's mad
21:20He had everything to look forward to
21:22Everything
21:23Such a waste
21:30Oh it's you
21:34There's something you must deal with
21:36If it's a bill I can't
21:40It's from an American journalist
21:43He wants to know if there's any truth in the rumour that our marriage is broken up
21:50Leave that here
21:53Little swine
21:59All right I'll see to him
22:05It's something I'd like some information on myself Randolph
22:11I'm sorry Jenny it hasn't come off
22:13I'm sorry
22:15I'd like some information on myself Randolph
22:20I'm sorry Jenny it hasn't come off
22:23What hasn't?
22:25The resignation. The government goes on without me
22:27I was sure it couldn't but well there it is
22:31I wasn't talking about your resignation
22:33I...
22:38I know you weren't
22:45I'm sorry
22:51You haven't been very kind to me these past few months Randolph
22:57I know I haven't
23:00Was it because you were planning this?
23:02You didn't trust me you thought I'd tell everyone
23:05Oh no it's nothing to do with that
23:07There's no connection none whatsoever
23:11Then what is it?
23:14You can tell me
23:20I don't think I can
23:25There is nothing you have ever done that you need be ashamed of with me Randolph
23:34If only that were true
23:38Tell me
23:40You'll see
23:43I...
23:46Dr. Roose has warned me
23:48You're ill?
23:50It's not certain
23:52He says it's only a possibility
23:57I may not have very long to live
24:01You couldn't tell me?
24:04Darling I'm the one to be ashamed
24:06Well I would have told you of course
24:09If it was certain
24:11But...
24:13But you're all right
24:15Roose says
24:17And the boys
24:19There's nothing wrong with any of you
24:21It's only me
24:23And it may not be true
24:25You know what doctors are they don't know what they're doing half the time
24:29Well what is it? What's wrong with you?
24:32Nothing
24:41They think I may have syphilis
24:46So now you know
24:58Why ever didn't you say?
25:02My dear dear dear Randolph
25:22When I first married
25:24When I came to England to live
25:28I thought it would be all
25:30Racing by day
25:32Parties at night
25:34Everything easy
25:37Everyone loving
25:40But I never dreamt it would be like this
25:43Or that it would all be perfect
25:45When you're young you don't know what perfection is
25:49You have to struggle for things or they're not worth having
25:53How do you know? What have you ever had to struggle for?
25:57Thank you Frances
26:01I've had to struggle for you
26:03I came very easily
26:05You did not
26:07In the end
26:09I hope you're not one of those men whose interest is really in the struggle and not in the victory Charles
26:15Men do get bored with what they've won sometimes don't they?
26:18Not when one has to spend one's entire time defending it
26:23I want constant guard my dear
26:25I wonder who against?
26:27You
26:30No one has ever really quite conquered you
26:33Or ever will
26:36I know my danger
26:39You want more freedom than any man will willingly let you have
26:45Yes I suppose I do
26:54You're impossible
27:01You're impossible
27:14Playing with your soldiers Winston?
27:17Field manoeuvres Papa
27:20I see
27:22I see
27:25This is a British infantry division
27:28And this is a cavalry brigade attached
27:32Very good
27:34Very good
27:37Who's the enemy?
27:39Oh Jack I let him have all the coloured troops
27:44No artillery I see
27:46Well no
27:48Britain must win Papa
27:52Of course
27:55Well
27:57I think it's very impressive Winston
28:01Very impressive indeed
28:05I'm a bit short of transport that's the only trouble
28:09Ah
28:11I expect the Chancellor of the Exchequer has insisted on a reduction in expenditure
28:20You seem keen on the military Winston
28:22I am Papa
28:24Like to go in the army yourself?
28:27Well we must see about getting you into Sanctist when you leave Eton
28:32I'm at Harrow Papa
28:35Didn't I say Harrow?
28:37No you said Eton
28:38Well whichever it is we must see about getting you into Sanctist when you leave
28:43Thank you Papa
28:47Good then
28:56Hello
29:02Hello
29:04Where have you been?
29:05Playing the piano for the Primrose League
29:07You should have seen them
29:08Your mother sends you love
29:10Oh and I had lunch with HRH he sends his regards
29:12Very decent of him
29:14I thought you were off to Scotland
29:16Tomorrow
29:19Look here
29:21I've been talking to Winston
29:22Oh dear what's he done now?
29:24Something that I know of
29:26He was showing me his soldiers
29:28Oh you are good he's been dying to
29:30Seemed keen on the army
29:34I think you'd better go in for it don't you?
29:36Not clever enough for the bar I don't see what else he can do
29:38No
29:40Well I'll write to the headmaster then
29:44Are you doing anything tonight or shall we dine together?
29:49Oh that would be very nice
29:51Right
29:53Off to the club now
29:55Oh Randolph
29:57Shall we take Banstead again this summer they want to know
29:59The boys love it so
30:01And with Newmarket so close it means we could all be together
30:03All right
30:05But I shan't be there much
30:07Oh?
30:09I thought I'd go and have a look round South Africa
30:11That's where things seem to be happening these days
30:13They certainly aren't here for me
30:15Oh darling
30:17You mustn't be depressed
30:19There's an awful lot of people who'd like to see you back in the government
30:21Ah no chance of that I'm afraid
30:23Once you're out of the cabinet
30:25You're not worth a bit more than any other member of parliament
30:27I knew that when I resigned
30:29But when this government's out and you leave the opposition again
30:31Souls will go on forever
30:33All those dreadful ninnies makes me sick
30:35Oh I meant to tell you
30:37Someone at Daisy Brooks was being catty about you the other night
30:39Saying how glad he was
30:41There were no fireworks in politics these days
30:43Thank God
30:45So I said when you're in pitch darkness
30:47People are glad of fireworks to show them the way
30:49That shut him up
30:55You're awfully good to me Jenny
30:57Why should I be anything else?
30:59Other women wouldn't be
31:03Right
31:05See you this evening
31:11Squeeze the trigger gently
31:13Don't pull
31:15It must hit the bull
31:17When you're in a tight spot
31:19You must always hit the bull
31:21Right
31:23Now we measure out the distance
31:33He's nice with the children
31:35Oh yes
31:37He'd make a wonderful father
31:39Yes
31:41Well since Randolph's never here he gets plenty of practice doesn't he?
31:43What does Randolph say?
31:45He's bought some shares in a gold mine
31:47Oh I hope it's full of gold
31:49Oh so do I
31:51Our finances don't bear thinking about
31:53That you don't think about them darling
31:55Is quite obvious from your clothes
31:57Well I'm not going to show everyone I'm poor
31:59By going about in rags Leonie
32:01Of course not but must you go to worth always?
32:03Yes
32:05Freddie how nice
32:07You said I could come with you to look round Randolph's stable
32:09Bang
32:13Well sit down we won't be going for a minute yet
32:15Charles is teaching the boys to shoot
32:19I'll go and get ready
32:21Excuse me Freddie
32:23Yes of course
32:31Bang
32:35One more round
32:39Bang
32:41Would I?
32:43Don't order me about
32:45You flirt with every man that comes into this house
32:47Would you rather I flirted in the garden?
32:49If you're tired of me you only have to say so
32:51I am tired of being spied on and being told what I can and cannot do
32:53And treated like a wife yes
32:55If you'd like me not to come back to England after my royal tour with the Archduke
32:57You only have to say so
32:59There are other embassies
33:01Oh don't be so pompous and silly
33:03I haven't stayed single all these years Jenny
33:05Just to be one of your admirers
33:07I can't help it if people admire me
33:09I can't encourage them
33:11Oh you're absurd
33:13And you're faithless
33:15If you only knew how boring you are when you make scenes
33:17Jenny
33:19When I get to Vienna
33:21My father will present me
33:23With a list of suitable heiresses
33:25And beg me
33:27With tears in his eyes
33:29Oh yes real tears
33:31To gratify my mother's dying wish
33:33How very touching
33:35What will you do take a pin?
33:37Is that what you want?
33:39You can do whatever you like
33:43Very well
33:45Oh Charles for heaven's sake
33:47I have no son
33:49It means nothing to me but to my parents
33:51Darling
33:53I wish with all my heart I could have your child
33:55But
33:57You know very well that while Randolph's still alive
33:59That means nothing to me I want you
34:01Not children
34:03But if I can't have you
34:05I think you're being perfectly childish
34:07But if it will make you any happier
34:09I'll just tell Freddy not to come here again
34:11He amuses me
34:13Which is more than you do at the moment
34:15But if you insist
34:17It would make me happier if I felt you'd stick to it
34:19Well
34:21If you don't trust me that much
34:23Perhaps you'd better take your pin
34:25Really
34:27Randolph was never as jealous as you are
34:29Even of you
34:31Perhaps he should have been
34:33My dear Jenny
34:35I do believe you've lost your nerve
34:37You're just like keeping several men dangling
34:39I have to think about the future
34:41Oh the future
34:45Randolph's so much worse
34:47Since he got back
34:49And we haven't a penny really
34:51Another few years
34:53I may be on the streets
34:55Well I shouldn't think
34:57It'll quite come to that darling
34:59Little house in St. John's Wood perhaps
35:01Not the streets
35:05If Charles isn't going to
35:09Oh Leonie
35:11I'm so frightened of the future all alone
35:13What do you really feel Jenny
35:15Do you still love Charles
35:19I care for Charles
35:21The way some people care for
35:23Drink or opium
35:25Yes
35:27Well in the end
35:29They want to give those up don't they
35:31It's all been so happy
35:33These past few years
35:35Why can't it go on just as it has
35:37Why do I have to decide
35:39Jenny just how long
35:41Has Randolph got to live
35:43Nobody knows
35:45Awful even thinking
35:47Of it like that
35:49Poor Randolph
35:53Poor Jenny
35:55I thought you'd be pleased Papa
35:57Because you just
35:59Scraped into Sandhurst
36:01At the third attempt
36:03And not even into the infantry
36:07What a slovenly performance
36:09Winston
36:11You've always been
36:13Phenomenally slovenly
36:15Hair him
36:17Scare him
36:19Happy go lucky
36:21I don't think I've had a single good report of your conduct
36:23Since you went to school
36:25After all the advantages
36:27You had
36:29All the efforts that have been made
36:31To make your life easy and agreeable
36:33This is the grand result
36:35You come up among the second
36:37And third rate
36:39Good
36:41Only for the cavalry
36:45Which means I may add that I shall have to
36:47Find another two hundred pounds
36:49A year for you at least
36:51I'm very sorry Papa
36:53I'll do my best honestly
36:59Where's your watch
37:01Why aren't you wearing
37:03The watch I gave you
37:07It's at the Menders
37:09Brand new watch
37:11At the Menders why
37:15I dropped it
37:17Dropped it
37:23A valuable watch
37:29You can't even be trusted
37:31With a decent watch
37:37Winston
37:39If you don't look out
37:43You'll be nothing better
37:47A
37:49A
37:53A
37:55A social
37:57A social
37:59Waste
38:03One of hundreds of
38:05Public school failures
38:07You'll
38:09Degenerate into a
38:11A shabby
38:13Unhappy
38:15Futile existence
38:17And it'll be all
38:19Your own fault
38:21I take
38:23No responsibility for you
38:25None
38:31Winnie you must have realised
38:33By now that
38:35Papa is very seriously ill
38:37But he's so unreasonable
38:39I was jolly pleased
38:41I got in his hall
38:43You must try and make allowances
38:45He doesn't mean to be unkind
38:47He can't help himself
38:49He's
38:51Well I think he's very unhappy
38:53He talks to everyone like that
38:55Even to you
38:57Sometimes
38:59Now look
39:01I think you've done extremely well darling
39:03And I'm delighted really I am
39:07But the thing is
39:09Papa is rather unreasonable
39:11If you have any difficulties
39:13You'd better come to me if you see what I mean
39:15I was going to ask him for an allowance
39:17Everyone else has one
39:19But I just didn't dare
39:21Well it's a very good thing you didn't
39:23We're very hard up Winnie
39:25We have to sell the house
39:27What?
39:29Where will we live?
39:31Well we're going to move in with the Duchess
39:33Oh no
39:35I say things must be bad
39:37Yes you're old enough to know they are
39:39Very bad
39:41Which is one reason why Papa
39:43Is so cross all the time of course
39:45You must understand
39:47I'm going to rely on you
39:49To be sensible
39:51And helpful
39:53And try not to annoy Papa
39:55Of course
39:57His speeches haven't been
39:59Very good lately have they?
40:01I wondered why
40:03We'll get over it I expect
40:05The one place he really enjoys going
40:07Is the House of Commons
40:09There are
40:11Many
40:13There are
40:15Many
40:17Arguments that
40:19Can be
40:21Argued against
40:23The
40:25Proposal
40:27Of the Government
40:29The
40:31Proposal
40:33Of the Government
40:37In the first place
40:41First
40:43Firstly
40:47In the first place
40:49I lay down
40:51That there is
40:53No
40:55Pressure
40:57Pressure
40:59Pressure
41:01For this motion
41:05At this time of year
41:09And
41:11And
41:15And I have a right to speak
41:17On this subject
41:19I have a right
41:21I have a right
41:25My parliamentary memory is
41:27Long
41:31Extending over twenty years
41:35And is also
41:37Very active
41:39And I have a right
41:41To speak on this subject
41:45I have a right
41:51To speak on this subject
41:59Can't you persuade him to stay away?
42:01Oh my dear
42:03We've tried
42:05I've tried
42:07The Duchess has tried
42:09We've even tried together
42:11But he's almost impossible to talk to
42:13What did the doctors say?
42:15Oh holidays holidays
42:17What did doctors ever say?
42:19you know all his friends feel the same such a very sad end to a great career
42:26he's well Rosebery says he's dying by inches in public
42:36what can I do?
42:38I don't know
42:40couldn't you persuade him to go around the world?
42:46for a year
42:50until he dies
42:54well you'll have a lovely time I'm sure
42:58it will be absolute purgatory
43:00oh I don't know
43:03you can meet an awful lot of people going around the world you'll be able to
43:05have a flirtation in every port
43:10oh I see
43:13somebody's told you about Freddy
43:17how quick one's friends are to spread good news
43:20I gather you did a good deal more than flirt with him while I went around the world
43:27Freddy told me a lot of lies some of them about you and I believed them
43:33if you hadn't gone off and left me you promised me not to see him again
43:36well I did see him and I wish to god I hadn't
43:41Charles
43:44after what I've been through these past few months I'm a very sober woman I promise
43:48why should I believe that?
43:51can't you tell?
43:54I thought you knew me pretty well by now
43:58I don't want you to go with Randolph
44:00I didn't want you to go with the Archduke
44:02that was a matter of duty
44:03well you don't suppose this is a matter of pleasure do you?
44:06but he's mad
44:08and you're not at all a suitable attendant for a lunatic
44:14Charles I love you so
44:19and I hope after all this horror is over
44:25I hope you'll ask me to marry you
44:30I'd marry you tomorrow if I could
44:33I thought it was obvious I'm sorry I have to say it
44:36but neither you nor anybody else would ever respect me again if I let him go alone
44:41so
44:44Charles must wait
44:47again
44:49I've waited and waited while you betrayed me
44:52god knows how many times and god knows how many people
44:57I'll never betray you again
44:59you expect too much of me old girl
45:02don't call me that
45:03well I'm not when I'm this young anymore are we?
45:06you can call me callous cruel anything you like but don't go
45:12oh for god's sake Jenny
45:16what's our life become?
45:21I want you
45:24you must stay
45:28oh Charles
45:32oh god if only I could
45:42we should never have come to Rangoon at all
45:47dr Keith he did so long to see Burma
45:52he did annex it you know
45:55well do you think he knows where he is?
45:58sometimes
46:00he knows he's here I'm sure
46:03he's calmer don't you think?
46:05lady Randolph I'm afraid it's the beginning of the end
46:08my professional advice is to go home at once
46:12and your personal advice?
46:14if you want him to die in England
46:18shall I give the orders?
46:19yes please thank you
46:29oh Winston
46:32Count Kinski is going to be married

46:46we can still stop it it's not too late
46:49nothing's impossible Annie
46:50darling the wedding's in two weeks
46:52but Randolph might very well be dead by then
46:56besides he doesn't love her she doesn't love him
46:59and we get on so well together and the boys adore him of course we must stop it
47:03he said you left him no choice
47:04that's nonsense I'd be faithful I'd be everything he could ever want
47:08I'd never flirt with another man again ever really
47:14you do realize don't you that Charles is the only man I could ever start life again with
47:21and he does love me
47:24I'm afraid he does
