Hyde Park on Hudson Page #3

was troubled and unhappy.

That they lived mostly

separate lives.

But I never saw that.

Thats now how they seemed

when they were together.

We ended it up

And stated our last hope

for refuge.

We must remind ourselves

that these kings and queens or whatever--

are no better than us.

Theyre just people.

I read that in your column,

Eleanor.

Are you all right?

You look in pain.

- He has a sinus infection.

- He gets them --

this time of year.

Oh does he?

I didnt know that.

I took an aspirin.

They just left Beacon.

Good!

wont be too long.

Hick says I should get a month of

columns out of this weekend.

Hick says this King hates

his brother.

Theres a column right there.

His brothers met with Hitler.

That's good.

Theres another column...

And this is the family were having

to our home for the weekend.

you dont even live here.

I am staying the night.

Besides, I told your mother.

I thought the brother

gave up being king

so he could marry

the woman he loved.

Daisy, have you ever met a man

who would do that?

Hick says she thinks

the brother

might be positioning himself

to be the savior

of the monarchy,

once England

has been defeated

and the fascists

have taken over. Of course.

Hes young, Eleanor

So is she.

Theyre both young.

Now let's just give them a break.

Can we?

And all the wild, the king and queen

were getting close.

Should we stop

and meet some people.

Wouldn't that be a good idea?

But...

We've just left...

We're almost there.

I don't think there are

any more towns until...

It's just a country road now.

Still...

He wants a cigarette.

We dont want to be e-e-e-arly.

No. No we dont.

And I'd like to meet some Americans.

Doesn't he want to meet you?

He's busy.

I know how important this is.

Youre not going

to let the side down.

Dont worry.

That is what Ive been

telling myself too.

You started to talk

about the weekend's itinerary.

You will be staying

in the Roosevelt house.

In fact,

it is the President's mother's house,

and she will officially

be your hostess.

Where is the President's house?

This is where he lives.

When he's not in Washington.

With his m-m-mother?

He doesn't have a house?

He has a room.

And his wife?

She lives in another house.

Hers.

And he doesn't--?

Which she shares with other --

women.

Who make furniture.

Im sorry?

Furniture. They make it.

Build it.

They're couples.

They're the sort

who like each other.

The Ambassador's wife,

after having visited Hyde Park...

Why do they call it that?

- What?

- Hyde Park, is in London.

It's confusing to me.

I don't know.

Our Ambassador's wife wrote -

and I think you need to hear this.
