  • [last lines] 

    Sir Charles Macefield : [throws Geoffrey's letter into the fire in which Geoffrey admits his defiance of orders which is a court-martialed offense but which resulted in the British getting an upper hand in Crimea]  For conspicuous gallantry.

  • Sir Charles Macefield : Well, I'll finish my drink. I have a cowardly aversion to meeting reptiles socially 'til I've had at least one sherry and bitters.

  • Surat Khan : I sometimes think, Sir Charles, that a great government resembles a beautiful woman, who, intoxicated with her own beauty, is apt to withdraw from a sincere suitor the favors she's always granted. And when she finds her suitor console himself with another beauty... regrets her coldness.

    Sir Charles Macefield : Interesting. And what does she do then?

    Surat Khan : She claims the privilege of any beautiful woman and changes her mind... before she's lost her suitor forever. Do you not agree?

    Sir Charles Macefield : The only great government I'm acquainted with is singularly masculine. It makes up its mind. And once having reached a decision, adheres to it.

    Surat Khan : I'm afraid we're losing ourselves in a flight of fantasy.

    Sir Charles Macefield : Yes, perhaps, yes.
