It's a pity they didn't want you on their Committee.
-
You put up a stout defence of their intentions.
-
They do want His Lordship on the Committee.
-
Forgive me, My Lord.
-
I'd have told you later, but they held a meeting this afternoon,
-
and they would like you as their patron.
-
Oh, how nice. I dare say that was always their plan.
-
I dare say it was, Your Ladyship.
-
I should be glad to accept.
-
Now, if you can all put your swords away,
-
perhaps we can finish our dinner in a civilised manner.
-
But I admire it, when young people stand up for their principles.
