and Queen Elizabeth

would not even

make the short list."

How dare they talk

about Royalty like this!

No King of England

had ever visited America before.

But now he was coming --

to Hyde Park on Hudson.

and the only quiet place

left to work was outside

What are those for?

He has a headache.

You do?

His sinuses again.

Happens this time every year.

I know that.

You didnt say anything

about a headache.

He's not going to trouble you

with everything, Missy.

You have enough on your plate.

What does that mean?

It means --

you take very good care of me.

It means that you do too.

Mrs Roosevelt,

we appear not to have enough plates.

What?

We don't have enough plates.

Someone miscounted.

You tell me this now?

Mrs Astor has called again.

Franklin warned us,

Mrs Astor will have plates.

We'll borrow hers.

today,

stay out of Mothers way.

On second thought --

we shall call for cook.

Mrs Astor is so rich,

she doesnt know what she has.

Franklin's wife,

Eleanor.

Im just doing what Im told.

So much for your little secret...

- Good morning, Mother.

- Good Morning. Eleanor.

We are not going to serve

the King of England -

a cocktail!!

Your Mother has now told me

for the tenth time --

not to call her Royal Highness --

Elizabeth.

Shes told me that too.

I mean, please --

what century is this?

Daisy?

Daisy?

Oh yes.

She told me the same thing.

I told her

who did she think I was?

I think she knows.

Daisy?

Hello!

Youre just staring.

Im not.

I wasnt.

What do you want?

Eleanors just brought out fresh coffee.

She was asking if youd like any.

Shes staring again.

Im not.

Missy, Leave her alone.

My husband lives for the adoring eyes

of young women.

We know this.

Lets change the subject,

shall we?

Dont tell me

youre embarrassed.

That day,

I would like to see.

I didnt say I was embarrassed.

Why do we care what a king or

queen thinks about us?

Real rosewood.

Still got the smell.

Is that why it cost so much?

Hick called.

For this morning's Royal visit

she'd been ordered to produce

five thousand children overnight.

What? Why?

m m

As buffers for holding back

the crowds.

No.

The Girl Scouts refused outright--.

Good for them.

They said their girls had taken

an awful beating in DC!

So she finally got some Boy Scouts!

But when they were pushed,

they pushed back!

Started something

like ten fist fights!

When she finally got back

to her office,

she kicked off her shoes,

opened her window

and shouted out:

God damn the King and Queen!

well maybe saying

the same thing tomorrow!

Hick was short for Lorena Hickock.

One of those friends

of Eleanors Franklin called ---

"she men."

People said their marriage
