-Good morning.

-Oh, Captain Vickers.

-Yes?

Your brother is here, Sir,

inside with Sir Charles.

-Oh, yes, thank you.

-Yes, Sir.

Geoff.

Perry.

By Jove, I'm glad to see you,

you old diplomatic globetrotter you.

Must be more than a year

since we last met.

Come in here,

I have something important to say.

I have a million things to say to you.

Every one of them of importance.

-Well, let's go inside.

-No, I can't.

I have a very urgent appointment.

Tonight and tomorrow we can talk our

heads off, but just now, I'll see you later.

So you see,

it depends on you gentlemen.

And I thought I was well-acquainted

with the situation.

I don't quite understand

Surat Khan's presence in Calcutta, Sir.

And this dance that the governor-general's

giving in his honor...

...at the Government House tonight.

Flattery is the food of fools;

But now and then, your men of wit

Will condescend to take a bit-

Actually, flattery and friendship,

so to speak.

Yeah, it is.

Surat Khan, deviling us up

on the frontier...

...seems to be doing precisely what

the Russian czar is doing in the Balkans.

You've read the news dispatches

about the Cossacks...

...plundering outlying Turkish villages.

It's an old trick, you know,

deviling your neighbor into a war.

One would think that there's Russian

influence at the back of Surat Khan.

What with Russia's vital need for

open-water seaports, amongst other things.

You'll act only on orders

from Sir Benjamin.

-I understand, Sir.

-I want you to understand also...

...that it's imperative

there should be no incident...

...that could cause a frontier war

at this time.

We must maintain peace at any cost.

Major Gordon and Mrs. Gordon.

Sir Archibald MacMurray.

Lady MacMurray.

Miss Veronica MacMurray.

Sir Charles Miller and Lady Miller.

You remember Major Barrett, my love.

-Oh, Major Barrett.

-And Lady Pellum, my wife.

Lady Pellum, good evening.

This is Colonel Campbell,

who leaves tomorrow...

...to assume command

of the Chukoti garrison.

Colonel, I am pleased

that we have met at last.

-Benjy, kindly stay here.

-My dear, I was just going to--

To the refreshment room to get a drink,

I know. Then you'll be upset.

Here, take a pill.

Life with you is just one blasted pill

after another, my love.

Just like a child, Benjy,

no idea what's good for him.

I hear you have a beautiful daughter.

You must let me take her

under my wing at once.

About to be married, isn't she?

That's splendid.

You must let me choose a trousseau.

You're a widower, are you not?

-I am, Lady Warrenton.

-Well, I always say--

Benjy?

Yes, I know. Take another pill.

Elsa, darling, you look so lovely.

I'm sorry I missed you at the house.
