BROWN and PONSONBY could not be more contrasted.
PONSONBY:
(in low tones)
Her Majesty's routine at Osborne House
is not as you will remember it. The
Household remains in full mourning and
no-one is permitted to raise their
voice under any circumstances
whatsoever. As for the Queen's
routine, she breakfasts at nine
thirty, lunches at two,takes tea at
five thirty and dinner at eight forty
five. No one is allowed to leave the
building while the Queen is at home.
On the rare occasions when she is out,
you may ask permission to leave, but
only with my consent.
You're to be ready to walk the pony at
any time after ten o'clock. You'll
clean her outdoor things and do any
odd jobs as and when she requires.
BROWN:
How will I know?
PONSONBY:
(surprised to be interrupted)
I'm sorry?
BROWN:
How will I know what she requires?
PONSONBY:
You'll be sent a message.
BROWN:
Who'll bring it to me?
PONSONBY:
Her Highness' Equerry.
BROWN:
I need a man who knows where I am.
PONSONBY:
I'm sure it won't be difficult to find
you.
BROWN:
That's not good enough.
A beat.
PONSONBY:
Then we'll have to see what can be
arranged.
BROWN:
Aye, do.
PONSONBY stiffens. A beat.
PONSONBY:
There is to be no communication with
other members of the household on
matters concerning the court except
through myself or one of the
Equerries. No plans must be altered
unless you are given prior authority
by myself or a senior member of the
household.
BROWN:
I came down at the Queen's request.
I'll take my orders from her.
PONSONBY:
In matters concerning the Household, I
act on her behalf.
BROWN takes the measure of him.
BROWN:
Do you?
PONSONBY:
Yes.
(beat)
I do.
BROWN glances up the corridor.
BROWN:
So, is passing wind out of the
question or do I need permission for
that?
PONSONBY refuses to acknowledge what he has heard. They
reach the door of the Royal Chamber and he concludes the
interview.
PONSONBY:
As I am sure you remember from
Balmoral, you do not talk while in Her
Majesty's presence unless Her Majesty
addresses you directly.
BROWN refuses to answer, so PONSONBY knocks. After a
moment, the door is opened by LADY ELY who ushers them in.
INT. OSBORNE HOUSE, QUEEN'S SITTING ROOM - DAY
BROWN walks stiffly into the room and stops. PONSONBY
waits by the door.
PONSONBY (O.S.)
Mr Brown, ma'am.
VICTORIA is bent over the desk, working at one of her
numerous red boxes. She scribbles furiously at a letter,
underlining and accenting words as she goes. Finally, LADY
ELY steps up to her side and whispers something in her ear.
She carries on working.
