:48:01
He made great sacrifices
to bring it about.
:48:05
He lavished money here,
and diamonds there.
:48:09
He bought lands
at ten times their value...
:48:12
...purchased pictures and articles
of virtue at ruinous prices.
:48:17
He gave entertainments
to those friends to his claim...
:48:21
...all, being about the Royal person,
were likely to advance it.
:48:26
And, I can tell you, bribes were
administered. And in high places, too.
:48:33
So near the person of His Majesty
that you would be astonished to know...
:48:37
...what great noblemen condescended
to receive his loans.
:48:45
This is by Ludovico Cordi...
:48:47
...a disciple of Alessandro Allori.
:48:51
It's dated 1605...
:48:54
...and shows,
"The Adoration of The Magi."
:48:59
It's beautiful.
:49:00
Yes.
:49:03
I love the use of the colour blue
by the artist.
:49:06
Yes, that is very beautiful.
:49:10
What is the price of this one?
:49:14
Well, this is one of my best pictures.
:49:17
But, if you really like it, I'm sure
we can come to some arrangement.
:49:34
Lord Wendover, Your Majesty.
:49:36
I'm glad to see you here today,
Lord Wendover.
:49:38
What news of Lady Wendover?
:49:40
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Lady Wendover is much better.
:49:43
Good! Present my compliments to her.
Say we miss her company here.
:49:49
And what of those excellent boys
of yours?
:49:51
They're well. Charles has gone to sea
under Captain Geary on the Ramillies.
:49:56
John has gone to Oxford to learn
how to preach and pray.
:49:59
Good, good!
