1:16:01
Mr. Chairman, do you not have ears?
1:16:04
I am unalterably opposed!
1:16:08
My mind is made up.
1:16:11
You shall not sway me.
May we now vote,
1:16:15
at long last?
1:16:18
Yes, Broadneck.
1:16:20
I think the time has come.
1:16:23
Gentlemen, Her Royal Highness
1:16:26
Alexandra, Princess of Wales.
1:16:46
Good morning.
I hope I'm not disturbing you.
1:16:49
Your presence here
is always greatly appreciated.
1:16:53
We were just taking a vote
on Mr. Merrick.
1:17:00
Her Royal Highness has shown
great interest in Mr. Merrick's fate.
1:17:04
I have, sir, as has the Queen.
1:17:09
I have a communication from the
Queen, which I should read to you.
1:17:17
"To the Governing Committee,
London Hospital.
1:17:28
I would like to commend you
1:17:31
for the charitable face
you have shown Mr. John Merrick.
1:17:35
It is laudable that you have
provided one of England's
1:17:40
unfortunate sons with a safe
and tranquil harbour, a home.
1:17:44
For this immeasurable kindness,
as well as the many acts of mercy
1:17:48
on behalf of the poor,
of which Mr. Carr-Gomm
1:17:52
has kept me informed,
1:17:54
I gratefully thank you.
Signed, Victoria."
