-
I beg your pardon?
-
Well...
-
as a fourth son...
-
you had rank but not the income
-
to pay for your qualification to the Inns.
-
Without the sponsorship of Lord Foley and William Hamilton...
-
the English courts might not have benefited from your brilliance,
-
and the title Lord Chief Justice could not be yours today.
-
My Lord.
-
And you think you are worthy of such considerations?
-
Of that I do not know, my Lord,
-
but I do know that a country life does not suit me.
