I suppose I'm just an old

fashioned sentimentalist...

Beau, come with me, I want you to

watch what I'm doing very carefully.

Excuse me, Your Majesty.

One day, you'll have

to do this yourself.

Twenty-nine on right boob...

...and three twiddles on the left.

This is the legendary

"Blue Water" sapphire of the Gestes.

I have seen the Hope diamond...

...I have feasted my eyes

upon the Koh-I-Noor...

Compared to this perfection,

they are pieces of sh*t.

Beau, this priceless gem is the

foundation of the Geste fortune.

Guard it until I return.

Beau grew into the full

stature of his manhood.

I got older.

Sunday!

Day of rest.

And what of the lovely Isabel?

She practiced and practiced, and

became an accomplished virgin.

Always so damn timid, Dig.

Really come at me, eh?

Beau couldn't help being a hero,

Nature cast him for the part.

Physically he was perfect.

As his identical twin,

I must have been perfect too.

Only, it didn't show so much on me...

Are you all right, old sport?

I think so, yes.

Stop it, stop it! I think I

discovered another movie clich!

What does it say?

Sudan relieved!

One hundred thousand

english lives lost!

Forty-five thousand

French die!

England wins by fifty-five

thousand! Hooray!

Drive on!

Look! It's the coach!

The Young Master is home!

- Isabel!

- Oh, father!

Digby...

- Beau!

- Father!

Children, I have a surprise,

a very pleasant one for you.

I want you to meet

lady Flavia Geste...

...your new mother!

We got married this morning.

Maman...

...of course this will have to go.

Yes, I must refurbish

this entire house...

...from top to bottom.

I mean it's awful. Just awful.

And that

monstrosity over there...

That's great uncle Fabius!

And that... thing over the fireplace!

Well, it simply must come down!

- But mother, that's the Geste

coat of arms! - How quaint...

No-no-no... down it comes. I want to

do something amusing with a peach...

As you say, my dear...

But isn't it time for bed?

- But it's only six o'clock!

- Oh, is it? Dammit.

Now, the dining room.

...come, come, Isabel;

write all this down...!

Magnificent, isn't she?

Almost makes me feel

seventy-five again.

She's certainly not unattractive, Sir.

I met her in Paris,

embassy reception...

...she just lost her seventh husband.

- Lost or mislaid?

And I want something absolutely

wicked with wall-to-wall hermine...

Don't you think we should

look at the bedroom...?

Yes! I thought we might

do something bizarre,

with a chandelier and

some ostrich feathers...

I hope I have the energy...

Tell Crumble I may

require a step-ladder...

One moment, Sir...!

May I have a moment with our...

...our new mama?
