Topsy-Turvy Page #2
No, I'm serious. | I have to write a grand opera.
People expect it of me. | I must not disappoint them.
I cannot waste any more time | on these trivial souffls.
Do you know I haven't written | a symphony for over 20 years?
Not an unprofitable 20 years, | if I may say so.
Arthur.
If you would learn to organise | your time more efficiently...
...you could do everything you wished.
My time is finite, Helen. I must fill it | with that which is important to me.
Is not the Savoy Theatre | important to you?
This work with Gilbert | is quite simply killing me.
Working with Gilbert would kill anybody.
Is your contract with D'Oyly | and Mr Gilbert not important to you?
But our present concern is your health.
You must go to the South of France | and recover.
We can discuss this on your return.
I shall recover, D'Oyly.
And I shall return.
But there will be nothing to discuss.
Did you dine at the Beefsteak Club?
Yes. Somewhat unsatisfactory.
Oh.
Well, you missed Mrs Judd's rabbit curry.
One gets the impression that everyone | is snickering behind one's back.
Perhaps you could have some | for tomorrow's lunch.
The king of Topsy-Turvydom.
Humiliating.
You look a little uncomfortable.
I'm comfortable enough.
I watched a bit from the wings.
- Oh, did you? | - The first act.
Seemed to be going well, surprisingly.
There! You see?
Would you like me to read to you?
No, thank you. I'll leave you.
You must be tired.
No, I'm not in the slightest.
Wrong of me to unburden myself on you.
Don't be silly. That's why I'm here.
Come and talk to your Kitty.
Sometimes one wonders | why one bothers.
They say jump... you jump.
- Good night, my dear. | - Good night.
Lady Colin is endeavouring | to persuade us to take up smoking.
The Saturday Review.
She proposes that nicotine | is a gift from the gods...
...and if men may benefit | from its soothing qualities...
...why, then, may women not also?
My poor daughter now believes that...
...smoking is an extension | of the communion...
...between a woman and her husband.
- Will she smoke on her wedding day?
Heaven forfend!
Lady Colin is... irresistible.
She cannot conceive | why the Irish are starving...
...when there's | "lots of good fish in the sea".
She most probably has a point.
- Oh, there's good news from Dublin. | - Mmm?
The Churchills "are" to return to London.
Forgiven, but not forgotten.
I do hope so.
Jenny says Winston is 11, | covered in freckles...
...and has a total disdain for authority.
Mmm.
I shall miss this fragrance.
Sicilian lemons.
Have you chosen your Beethoven | for the Philharmonic Society?
As a matter of fact, I have.
Yes.
- No.2? | - The Seventh.
