...can accomplish anything.
:46:05
And Barry was acquainted with someone
who knew how these things were done.

:46:11
This was the distinguished Barrister
and former Government Minister...

:46:16
...Lord Hallam...
:46:18
...whose acquaintance he had made,
like so many others, at the gaming table.

:46:23
Do you happen to know
the Thirteenth Earl of Wendover?

:46:28
I don't believe I do.
:46:30
Well, this nobleman is one
of the Gentlemen of His Majesty's Closet...

:46:35
...with whom our revered Monarch
is on terms of considerable intimacy.

:46:41
In my opinion, you would be wise
to fix upon him...

:46:45
...your chief reliance for the advancement
of your claim to the peerage.

:46:52
When I take up a person, Mr. Lyndon,
he, or she, is safe.

:46:57
There is no question about them anymore.
:47:00
My friends are the best people.
I don't mean they're the most virtuous...

:47:05
...or, indeed, the least virtuous,
or the cleverest...

:47:08
...or the stupidest,
richest or best born.

:47:12
But, the best.
:47:13
In a word, people about whom
there is no question.

:47:18
I cannot promise how long it will take.
:47:21
You can appreciate
it is not an easy matter.

:47:25
But, any gentleman with an estate,
and 30,000 a year...

:47:30
...should have a peerage.
:47:36
And there standing behind me
was a total stranger.

:47:39
I looked at him, and he said to me:
:47:42
"Excuse me, sir, could you tell me,
is Lord Wendover alive or dead?"

:47:49
I was so astonished,
I couldn't think of what to say.

:47:51
Then I became angry,
and said to him, "He's dead."

:47:55
The striving after this peerage was
one of Barry's most unlucky dealings.
