Would you excuse me?

I want to say just this:

No matter how much public money...

we, the government,

devote to good causes...

there will always be a place

for private generosity...

like yours, ladies and gentlemen, tonight.

Never have I seen so many hearts

so obviously in the right place.

I'm sure I have no need

to bring to your attention...

the plight of our brothers...

of every creed, race and color...

in every far-flung corner of the Earth...

who at this very moment

are suffering the humiliation...

degradation, shame...

of the agonies of malnutrition.

Of course, I'd love to make a film someday.

But so much is important:

The right director, the right script...

You think a good director

makes a difference, do you?

It has been known.

- This is my wife, Sybil. Diana Scott.

- Hello.

I think he managed that

very well indeed, don't you?

Here she is. Diana.

I was half afraid you'd walked out

in protest against my speechifying.

Not at all.

They've got something for us upstairs.

Crisps and Pepsi-Cola.

I'm afraid I haven't seen

one of your pictures.

So little time when one's in politics

to do anything except try and stay here.

I must say that Bruce Rolford

lost 27,000 last week.

Actually, to refute his exaggeration,

good evening...

- it was only 21,000.

- Is that all?

- Miles, how are you?

- Well, Your Grace. And you?

- Absolutely splendid.

- I'm delighted.

It was said of her great-grandmother...

that the only cabinet members

who weren't her lovers...

were those who had reason to believe

they might be her father.

Yes. Poor Elspeth.

She's got a lot to live up to.

- Lf it isn't the Lord Grant.

- My dear Miles.

Like your black boys, John. I suppose

I can't wrap one up to take him home.

I wouldn't advise you to try.

They're all numbered. I wouldn't try

and change your luck if I were you.

- I think everything's laid on...

- Would you like to see the library?

Only one way to preserve a library today.

That's to build a gambling den around it.

"This royal throne of kings

"This scepter'd isle

"This earth of majesty

"This seat of Mars

"This other Eden, demi-paradise

"This fortress built by Nature for herself

"Against infection and the hand of war

"This happy breed of men, this little world

"This precious stone set in the silver sea

"Which serves it in the office of a wall

Or as a moat defensive to a house

"Against the envy

"of less happier lands

"This blessed plot, this earth, this realm

"this England"

That's the Glass house.

What's this supposed to be?

It's known familiarly

as three couples taking their pleasures...

with a fourth looking on.

Charming.

Would it be locked?
