I'll tell you. Decent people have wives, and their wives lead them by the nose. That's why decent people take Honours. (MRS. CULVER: Well, I think it's monstrous!) So it is. I've been a Conservative all my life; I am a Conservative. I swear I am. And yet, now when I look back, I'm amazed at the things I used to do. Why, once I actually voted against a candidate who stood for the reform of the House of Lords. Seems incredible. This war is changing my ideas. (Suddenly, after a slight pause.) I'm dashed if I don't join the Labour party and ask Ramsay Macdonald to lunch. (Enter.) Parlourmaid, back.
