[coughing]

293

Are you all right?

294

You're not.

295

-Come on, let's get you up.

-No, no. I'm fine. I promise.

296

It's just because the window was open.

Now go to work. You've got a job to do.

297

Let us start with the unrest[A1]  in Egypt,

298

where anti-colonial passions

continue to run high[A2] ,

299

and where our soldiers continue to come

under fireA3] from nationalist insurgents[A4] .

300

It is vital that we remain

and successfully defend the Suez Canal,

301

a point that I will be making in person

to the Commonwealth Heads,

302

when I host them

for the weekend at Chequers.

303

[Elizabeth] Weather permitting.

304

Indeed.

305

What is the latest information

that you have?

306

About the weather?

It's fog, ma'am. It will lift eventually.

307

I was hoping

for something more scientific.

308

Then I will ensure

that a barometric report

309

is included in your box tomorrow,

310

complete with isobars[A5]  and isohumes[A6] 

311

It has been an unusually cold winter,

312

and there are only so many things

that I, as Prime Minister,

313

am prepared to inflict on[A7] your subjects

as a reward for winning a World War

314

and prevailing[A8]  over fascism,

evil and tyranny[A9] .

315

Letting them freeze is not one of them.

316

-You do not seem unduly[A10]  concerned.

-I'm not.

317

You do know that my late father wrote,

many years ago, to your predecessors[A11] 

318

to express his deep concern

about the inner city[A12]  power stations[A13] 

319

that your party was building.

320

Indeed.

321

And I was sympathetic

with your father's concerns at the time.

322

I also have sympathy with the leader

articles in the newspapers today,

323

baying[A14]  for blood.

324

Wanting my head.

People have to be angry at someone.

325

But as leader,

one cannot simply react to everything.

326

We need the power stations,

we need the coal.

327

The people need to burn coal

to warm their homes.

328

-It is weather. It will pass.

-Well, I do hope so.

329

Not least [A15] because my husband's mood

is intolerable[A16] .

330

Why?

331

Well, being caged [A17] in like this.

He can't fly.

332

-Fly where?

-Well, nowhere, he is learning to fly.

333

Whatever for?

334

Have we not enough qualified pilots

to take him where he needs to go?

335

No, he wants to fly himself.

It's a boyhood[A18]  dream.

336

-It's what he's always wanted.

-Why was government not consulted?

337

Because it's a private matter.

And I am in favor[A19] .

338

Nothing you or His Royal Highness do

is a private matter.

339

And the father

of the future king of England

340

risking his life needlessly is...

341

quite unacceptable.

342

Please. Do not curtail[A20]  my husband's

personal freedoms any further.

343

You've taken away his home.

You've taken away his name.

344

There comes a time

where one must draw a line in the sand[A21] .

345

And the job of drawing that line

falls to Cabinet, ma'am. Not to you.

346

Something your dear late papa

would certainly have taught you

347

had he been granted more time

to complete your education.

348

And now our time is up[A22] .

349

Until next week.
