(Confidentially) Bit dyngerous, 'yn't it? trustin' the Press? Their right 'ands never knows wot their left 'ands is writin'. (To THE PRESS) 'Yn't that true, speakin' as a man? (PRESS: Mr. Lemmy, even the Press is capable of gratitude.) Is it? I should ha' thought it was too important for a little thing like that. (To LORD WILLIAM) But ye're quite right; we couldn't do wivaht the Press--there wouldn't be no distress, no coffin, no revolution--'cos nobody'd know nuffin' abaht it. Why! There wouldn't be no life at all on Earf in these dyes, wivaht the Press! It's them wot says: "Let there be Light--an' there is Light." (LORD W: Umm! That's rather a new thought to me.) But abaht Muvver, I'll tell yer 'ow we can arrynge. You send 'er the ten bob a week wivaht syin' anyfink, an' she'll fink it comes from Gawd or the Gover'ment yer cawn't tell one from t'other in Befnal Green.
