295

 [Bobbety] Good God.

296

A stroke[A1] , Bobbety, that's all,

a minor stroke.

297

But I'm on the mend[A2] , bouncing back.[A3] 

298

Well, you don't look very bouncy to me.

299

-Who knows?

-No one.

300

And no one can know. Especially the Queen.

301

What?

302

I have promised her that the country

will always have a healthy man in charge.[A4] 

303

You know me, Bobbety,

I am a man of my word.

304

But you can't just hide it from her.

305

I mean, you're head of the government

which runs the country in her name.

306

Don't you think she'll smell a ratA5] 

307

when no one turns up[A6] 

at her private audience?

308

The Palace has been told

that I have a cold.

309

A cold?

310

Jock, you have my permission

to extend that to the flu.

311

-Sir.

-But no more.

312

And what about the meeting with Eisenhower

in Washington?

313

Alas, as I have been

refused permission to fly,

314

I am left with no option.

315

-To postpone[A7]  it?

-Are you mad?

316

The Russian situation could not be

more delicately poised[A8] ,

317

nor more needing of my influence.

318

No.

319

We have to get Eisenhower here.

320

 [Bobbety] You see, Tommy, there's no other

way. Well, how about the 12th of July?

321

-I doubt it.

-All right, the 13th?

322

-I doubt that as well.

-The 14th then.

323

I can put it to her, Bobbety,

but I wouldn't hold your breath.

324

Well, I'll leave it to

your powers of persuasion.

325

Goodbye.

326

 [Lascelles] Sorry to disturb you, Ma'am,

327

but I just had

Lord Salisbury on the phone

328

with an unusual request.

329

President Eisenhower

is due to [A9] meet the Prime Minister

330

in Washington for a summit next week,

but Mr. Churchill's developed a cold,

331

a nasty cold and Lord Moran, his doctor,

has forbidden him to fly.

332

Now, the feeling is the meeting

is of the utmost importance[A10] 

333

so Downing Street was wondering

whether we might be able to help.

334

-Help how?

-By inviting the President here.

335

-Where?

-Here, Ma'am, to Buckingham Palace,

336

to a state banquet [A11] next week.

337

The feeling is that, by that time, Winston

should have made a sufficient recovery.

338

Well, I was planning

on going to Sandringham.

339

I'm afraid it would mean

postponing that by a few days.

340

We can extend an invitation

through our ambassador in Washington.

341

-Is that a green light, Ma'am?

-Yes.

342

Then, if you'll excuse me,

I better get cracking[A12] .

343

Do you have a moment, Tommy?

I need to speak to you urgently.

344

I don't, I'm afraid,

I have a state banquet to arrange,

345

so if it can possibly wait until later...

346

I think when you hear it,

you'll share my sense of alarm.

347

It seems that Martin Charteris

348

is to replace you as Her Majesty's

Private Secretary, not me.

349

What? Says who?

350

Says Margaret Colville,

Jock Colville's wife,

351

who plays bridge with Alice Jameson,

lady-in-waiting[A13] ,

352

who as you may know,

plays tennis with Mary Charteris.

353

Why on earth would I know that?

354

Anyway, so confident

are they of the appointment,

355

-that Mary has even gone so...

-Don't tell me.

356

So far[A14]  to speak

to the Palace Head Gardener

357

about trimming the tree

outside my window.

358

Yes.

359

Ask Martin to come and see me, would you?

360

That is, if he and his lady wife are not

too busy measuring carpets and curtains

361

for what is still my home.

362

-Right, it's green light. Jump to it.

-Sir.

363

-You asked to see me, Tommy.

-I did. Do sit down.

364

Martin, you've worked for the Palace now,

for what, three years?

365

I'd have thought that long enough

for you to know the ropes[A15] .

366

Understand the rules,

the way things are [A16] done.

367

I think I do.

368

Manifestly[A17]  not.
