Your arrival cannot have been announced to His
Majesty.
We have had quite enough of them here today. And
what Englishman will give his mind to politics aslong as he can afford to keep a
motor car?
Anybody can earn fromfive to twenty pounds a week
now, and a big dole when there is nojob for him. Thats democracy; and a
splendidthing it is too for putting the right men in the right place. I am the last
to kick a manwhen hes down. I was not thinking of a revolution in England. And what
have our young upstarts been doing toyou, Mr Boanerges? Your Majestys allusion to
the royal veto in a speechyesterday has brought matters to a head.
Your arrival cannot have been announced to His
Majesty.
The best speech in the world canbe read in such a
way as to set the audience laughing at it.
Apart from Amandas family relations, am I face to
facewith a united Cabinet. Oh no: really, really, my dear Lysistrata, you must
nottake that line.
The Prime Minister is the prime minister: he isnt
Joe.
There is not a man or womanhere whose job I could
do as well as they do it.
Picked up by a policemanat the foot of Captain
Corams statue.
Are you satisfied that we have the best
paidproletariat in the world on our side?
If I had been the stupidest man in the country I
shouldstill be its king. To make democracy work in Crassuss waywe need poverty and
hardship.
Shewas greatly impressed by the President. And what
Englishman will give his mind to politics aslong as he can afford to keep a motor
car? If His Majesty wants a Cabinet of dumb dogs he will notget it from my
party.
We have had quite enough of them here today. Are
they to overhear everything that passes?
I mean that when you disagree with us you are to
keepyour disagreement to yourself.
If you indulge insupposition on that subject, you
will lose your job, old chap.
Suppose he has a lot of money, and the kings hard
up!
If Isee you leading the nation over the edge of a
precipice may I notwarn it?
Anyone can see that you belong naturally tothe
governing class.
What does the King care about the crisis? Are they
to overhear everything that passes? Are you satisfied that we have the best
paidproletariat in the world on our side?
