pittsburgh there could be no question of that my interludes can strike me at any time as you know at any time and without warning the nation needs a stable continuance of its affairs in time it may be godly that another pit may come forward to provide it how goes it with the boy the sickly child sir sickly in the body all powerful in the brain but we have high hopes of a new regimen from dr addington the lad is to take a bottle of poor today to build up his constitution and as to his education but since she is too weakly to go from home i have always undertaken her schooling myself so come here with him you understand what we're about do you not yes sir the lord chatting i must protest against these proceedings the lads constitution is still dangerously weak start to rubbish since you prescribed him his daily regime of poor tears proceeded to flourish like a young lion stand you by william my son the lord is the same age as yours does another picture tell its own story is it not the reason that you have shielded william from the rigors of winchester and had his school at home public schools doctor is suitable for boys of a forward and turbulent disposition where there is any gentleness in the personality they can be disastrous and yet having protected him from all else you now wishes to visit upon your son one of the most savage forms of public school barbarity a boy who is destined to be a beacon to his country must be ignorant of nothing one taste of barbarity will inform him but not i think damage him master eddington rod if you please my lord i beg of you

suggested brutally you wish your father preferment in his profession hurt a boy harder as you do it at winchester a lot very well enough william thank you sir you let a little run down your chin

your muscular son goodbye doctor and you must have had it goodbye sir goodbye william goodbye and william it's all right harley it really is all right come now little orator are you up to your speechifying today so long as i may stand to do it yeah i never knew an oddity yet could do it sitting down come let us take a case lord north as surely as the sun moves down the sky is moving towards war with our american brothers already i hear he has sent emissaries to sound out the willingness of the red indian to act as his ally and has touched the prince of hesse on the subject of hiding his mercenaries to intimidate the colonists you're one of the seeing the house of commons the government damn scoundrels are over there commence if i were an american as i am an englishman and a foreign troop was landed in my country i would never lay down my arms never never never but god never never never is very strong it is a brave style of speech i might steal it from you one day if ever i have cause are you there again sir do you think i can't see you well do you follow me to the gates of hell when you shall plunge in before i do forgive me william sometimes i think the gout has gone to my head miserable tormentors merciless tormentors will you never let me be forgive me william we shall continue this evening yes father father yes oh nothing sir this evening i should expect you to read me off six pages of through cities of my choosing in the original greek and to translate it straight into english without one mistake you shall have it sir so well william was your father satisfied with you today mama what about them what is their cause diamond jackpit you will recall he found the diamond in india on which the pit fortune was based yes his blood runs in all of you pits it's blood it's a wild blood wild unpredictable it brings genius with it but sometimes it brings strange fancies an uproar in the brain perhaps you have it perhaps not if you have you must learn to counter it with the colder blood of us grenville's a grenville can freeze a live coal at a glance the grenville must imprison the pit [Applause] dispatch for mr pitt urgent i doubt that mr pittle wish to be disturbed he would buy this very well mr pitt's own hands those being my instructions you'll feel mr pitt's own tongue if he doesn't like it the dogs it is not this house madam that will kill me but the one across parliament's square rubbish man you thrive on it live there if you could be like our father before him lunacy runs from his family father who's a great man god is an empire i've only known one other to equal him excuse me your graces my lord dispatches mr pitch posthaste to your hand only will you excuse me can't even have a quad tipple with his friends without damn politics but again he needs a woman to set him right mark my words someone to throw her arms around him and keep the world out he's not meant for it i'm afraid fudge john you remember his cocktail days when he came down i also remember the night he and i galloped through a toe gate without paying a blunderbuss thundering rusty iron about how it is while he consigned the tow people to damnation and he was prime minister at the time i'm not credited but his shoot is true we've been carousing with venge as it is oh what was a long time ago then i declare he's lived like a monk since to atone for it with women man to defend our country from the french court all else sacrificed to that that maybe i tell you there's a streak of something in that icy statue everybody dreams of if you please prime minister parsler uh lord and lady auckland and their miss eleanor even how lovely to see you again my dear after so long but but where is little eleanor oh she's primping and smoothing in your pier glass in the hall crimping my little splatter well i've scared seen her without dirt on her face and blackberry juice on her cheeks napoleon burner part is embarked upon the building of the largest fleet of invasion barges the world has yet seen here at berlin he has cannons in the prowl mortars in the stern and each barge carries 100 men confronted things will never float they'll go to the bottom of the tunnel like stern the french have never been sailors sir they too heartily dislike water is it little eleanor hardly so diminutive i would have said sir i am after all 20 years old eleanor pray do not be forward no no i apologize i was just trying to think how long it is since i last saw you at your home at eden farm while you were scarcely 14. i was 14 and seven months we sat in a field against a hay wayne and you explained to me how to solve the irish question uh well then i must have been very much to them than i am now my father says you're the cleverest man in england your father is the most scandalous exaggerator in england five years pretty that even i will it's eden last month when i was here i took some of your accounts back home with me to eden farm yes i know your debts amount to 40 000 pounds and that is because for years you have been systematically cheated and defrauded no no you must listen here are your incomings as prime minister salary three thousand seven hundred and eighty pounds as a lord of the treasury one thousand two hundred and twenty pounds both of which i may say are eighteen months in arrears as chancellor of the exchequer pounds and as warden of the sink ports 3080 pounds total 10 532 pounds that's a pretty enough sum but here are some of your outgoings here's a butcher's bill from which it would appear that 30 hundred weight of meat was consumed in this house during a month when the entire household was in the country and here's a bill from your wine merchants in one year you're supposed to have consumed 2 410 bottles of port 854 bottles of madeira and 572 bottles of clara it's not that that i i warden is correct down to the last cork william can't you see it while you're spilling out your life's blood for your country people are robbing you well i don't say they need to but twice the city of london have offered you an outright gift of 100 000 pounds to remove all worries of this kind and twice you have refused it why because i have to remain completely independent beholden to no one answerable only to my country now please eleanor i do not want to talk about this anymore don't lift your haughty grenville nose in the air at me sir i still can't come down to the country this weekend but you need the country oh william you look so tired well you're so much better when you're in the country you know you are could you not just as well fight napoleon bonaparte from your house at hollwood it just happens to be five miles away from your home at eden farm you know when we first met again two months ago i used to go down to hollywood at weekends and at still midnight i used to look out for my bedroom window and fancy that i could see your window shining through the trees five miles away you cannot imagine how wonderfully strangely that affected me it was such a comfort well then the struggle can only be directed from the seat of power here at number 10 dining street now miss eden i'm sending you and your maid back to your family so soon yes yes yes [Laughter] and oh my dear this is primally deceiving why idiots i'm a woman i was a woman when we sat against that hay wayne five years ago it was not a hayward it was a style i can help you you need help you need someone to look out for you hello i can help you undoubtedly you will come down to the country this weekend i will do everything in my path uh if you please prime minister mr charles james fox to see you i put him in the study that dreadful fox oh why does he hate you so passler would you be so kind as to show miss even through her carriage and apologize to your father lord auckland for keeping you so low mr fox mr pitt the iliad this passage hecuber's speech on the death of hector why is he marked well my father pit the elder had me read it to him on his death bed ah where is me how shall i live in my sore anguish now thou art dead now that was my boast night and day in the city and a blessing to us all both of the men and women of troy throughout the town whoever treated thee as a god for verily thou was to them a glory exceeding great while yet thou lived but now death and fate are come upon thee why do you suppose he asked you to read that to him mr pitt on his deathbed well as his son i believe i know as a stranger i find it impertinent of you to speculate [Laughter] impudence is my faulty you know spit i suggest his purpose was to impress upon you the transients of all power say what you have to say i came to warn you that should you raise the tax upon incomes to thrippans in the pound as you propose i shall bring your administration crashing down around your ears napoleon will not be kept at bay with painted soldiers and cardboard ships mr fox liberty must be paid for i shall oppose you every step of the way you will tread upon prince mr fox i do have enough enemies abroad without more at home is that all the help you have to extend to me if so please be gone to your mistress mrs armitage and vex me no more oh well if the topic is to be mistresses sir oh no well i'm well sir we know what we know you know nothing that is why you speak in riddles i know the company you keep gets younger every day and rumor has it that even the less has been admitted within these portals verily there was to them a glory exceeding great whilst i lived but now death and fate have come upon me thank you william now listen to me young senator the day may not be for hands when you are going to have to take over the governments of this country oh father father i'm not even yet in parliament don't argue with me a man in my extremity has no time to be contradicted but the only man of any ability in the commons is charles james fox but king george cannot abadd him and he is disillusioned to book you will be needed and i i thank god that you take off to your mother's side a grenville rather than a pit an icy heart and judgment will be needed to set this poor country to rights father i'm not a grenville i am a peter but you're bearing your calculation your every action studied under your advisement ever since the winchester lesson then diamond pit is in you after all do you suffer from interludes do you not in the way you do the mind can always be controlled with you have your own part sir that is mine well i'll be drinking yours soon enough why not start now you'll do sure you to only keep that proud and heartless tone in the commons if i get there when you get there when you get there only promised me this william england is in poor straits swear to me that you will do whatever is necessary to make her great again i will no one swear that i swear doctor you can find the dark churches england's business we are about it is pit business too there is something else i want you to promise me yes promise me that should you find a diamond bit powerful in your you will not perpetuate him no children william there must be no children oh father i cannot think you know what you ask of me i know very well what i ask of you the blood is a greedy blood it feeds grossly on genius would you have a pit family dribble out in the trail of adults and idiots swear to me that you will not let it happen and whatever sacrifice to yourself yes nobody swear it i give you my solemn oath [Applause] so apostle what prime minister how long have we known each other um well it's been 14 years in this house your legal chambers previous and uh university before that would you say my temper has deteriorated in that time oh not so you've noticed you've always been partial to your um for outbursts outbursts is that what we're calling them well kicking over the traces you're um interludes as one might say they never seem to alarm you no bless your known prime minister well your father his lordship was just the same for you king george has gone mad again and is strapped down in dr willis's patent restraining chair swearing lurid english o's ah you think the king's mad he certainly held a prolonged conversation with a tree in windsor great park last week under the impression that it was a relative having seen some of his relatives i'm hardly surprised what these attacks of his really madness or does he simply wish to terrify us for the prospect of the prince of wales as regent what a perceptive child you are william pitt if you call me child once more i'll yes what will you do i'll provide incontrovertible proof that i am nothing of the kind prime minister you wish to speak to me oh difficult deuce damnably difficult what's difficult dad say you know what i mean no i confess i am at a total loss quite right you are quite right well then well then uh do you suppose i might have a glass of pork brother i find it wonderfully clarifying to the mind napoleon can't touch the stuff it makes him apparently as sick as a dog highly precious greatly obliged right then out with the nasty news nasty news what nice to use i don't know what you're referring to i take my oath dear brother ever since we were children that martial gate has always been the precursor of an attempt to give me unpalatable medicine of one form or another an attempt sir an attempt is correct and pray what are you about to attempt now nothing nothing in the world i accept yes now okay will you and miss eleanor eden what about me and miss ellen eden well do you think it is a an um appropriate relationship i'm not quite certain what you mean by the word appropriate but whether it is or whether it is not it is certainly no concern of yours damn it i know that can't you think of the most the most mighty struggle i've had with myself even oh even to mention it at all it is a struggle you could have well have saved yourself now if that is all i really will i speak to you not only on my own behalf i am a oh damn it what a delegate on behalf of whom certain gentlemen for example i omitted to ask permission to mention their names and so therefore i may not do so does your tender conscience allow you to indicate the species of the gentleman they are certain members of your cabinet the cabinet oh now will please more admired you if you'd come here on your own account there is a lick spittle to that collection of boobies well they are as genuinely concerned for you as i am oh and and for the party i think i may be allowed to know what is best for me that's not a party but if not for me there would be no party that that is the point and in what way exactly is my association with miss eden meant to be injurious to me she is a child and nor are you in the least discreet about the liaison oh your vocabulary is improving you've developed the flare johnny for the hurtful word my association with miss eden is not a liaison it is a deep and genuine friendship so be it do you intend to marry the girl i think you've said enough please go not until i have an answer you'll have none for me well you must marry her or put her aside i cannot i will not if have i not sacrificed enough for this voracious country of mine this is my youth has gone by like a dream please don't touch me just don't johnny go i beg if you go willie appears to be using a black potion do you know what it is oh it's some new physic as the doctors are trying on mr pittman lord and what do they say is wrong with him now oh bless you my lord they have no idea but i know it's this house it's number 10 and everything that goes with it 14 years that's enough to kill an ox my dearest william i cannot bear this enforced separation i sit here in the country looking at the green meadows without you they are as desolate as the russian stems could we but have a scant half-hour together i could store it away like a squirrel and eek it out in my fancy for weeks and weeks please come soon william please i don't know how much longer i can stand this all my deepest love my adored one eleanor i couldn't i couldn't stay away any longer i know i know i was on the point of writing such complete idiosis too you still write them that's my ellie oh my goodness late where do your parents think you are where do you intend to stay i'm visiting my aunt hester i shall sleep at her house tonight where does she think you are at this moment with my friend beatrice oxton i don't like deception then don't think of it as deception but as a lover's stratagem good evening my lord he's my brother yes sir he's in his study but when shall i see you i shall come down to the country as soon as i possibly can it's eden you arrived too late john miss eden was on the point of leaving a very disagreeable offer perhaps next time i shall be more fortunate your certain man and yours sir johnny the printer's proof to be published in tomorrow's morning post i knew in my heart that it couldn't go on and yet i let it go on all it says is that you are going to marry the girl there oh it's a perfectly happy remedy it is the one remedy that is not available to me nonsense you are as free to marry as the simplest yeoman sir i cannot marry for what reason johnny you have the inestimable blessing of being all grenville the pit strain passed you by i took it all surely sir you you overstate it do you recall the time mother would attacked in some james's by fox's thugs from brookstone indeed and we gave as good as a god do you remember how you had to prise my fingers away from lord crew's throat it's the heat of the moment it took four of you to do it i had every intention of killing him but the the icy composure the cool distance you have used to put this country to rights studied calculated and any interlude can always be controlled with alcohol johnny do you remember what it was that enforced our father out of public life yes well it is that which lurks in me how can i inflict that i'm so precious the creature is miss elena eden how should i ever forgive myself if she were to bear mad things for children uh willie the solution is simple you must tell all to her and allow her to make the choice no no no i cannot do that i know what her answer would be she would sacrifice herself sam what will you do i believe the expression is put it aside oh prime minister there's a total of 11 persons waiting to see you on various matters as they'll get atoms i must send out a despair you had nothing to eat today the austrians scattered together the first whiff of gunpowder port that's all i need porn it's very cool the prussian charge at affair is arriving at any moment send him into me the moment he arrives and no one else nonsense very good sir and the 11 waiting in the library it is essential that i retain not only not only the respect for my colleagues but of the british people i'm sorry prime minister i asked ms eden not to come upstairs but she that's all right parsley thank you adams prime minister there's an urgent message for you from the house they're mounting a censure motion on you for the conduct of the war tell them i'll be along directly this seems to have been the pattern of our relationship i must storm your defenses before i can even speak to you i am sorry i did leave instructions not to be disturbed which you sent my father as you say i sent it to your father don't try your celebrated sarcasm on me william i am immune i said it to your father because i felt that i had wronged his daughter by making her the center of vulgar speculation why did you not write to me why did you not come and speak to me because i felt that i had done you sufficient damage a cartoon implying that we were to be married i did not feel greatly injured by that but we are not going to be married are we i don't recollect asking you how you do come to the point william i'm sorry if you were misled by the natural sympathy that existed between us with a common feeling for nature ie's of conversation fact that we were in love oh who knows what love is i know and you know do you deny that there are feelings for each other running through our minds and bodies which are the very essence of love you're speaking absurdities i'm a middle-aged man you are a young girl i am sick all this is in the letter words i know what i feel i know whatever you may say what you feel how very young you are young yes if it'd be a crime to be young i plead guilty yes you are ill yes you take port wine as if it were a kind of dying and yes you carry this country of ours on your shoulders and it is as if every shot discharged by the french strikes your own body but i can face it and carry it and help you to bear it and any other burden which you may bear in about which you have not yet spoken i do not wish to marry you eleanor that is not true william you love me as i love you well you see unfortunately the fact that you love me does not inevitably mean that i love you and i do not you can still surprise me william you are cruel and i'd have staked my life that you were not uh good prime minister you must return to the house they'll tell you to pieces unless you get in there and tame them that house this house god they'll kill me between them [Music] so [Music] you
