:29:00
Go on.
:29:02
Well, by now, Lord Radley
was a Cabinet minister...
:29:05
.. and, as the Baron well knew,
I was working as his personal secretary.
:29:10
One night, as usual,
I was the last to leave the office.
:29:22
Later that evening,
I wrote the Baron a letter...
:29:25
.. containing
highly confidential information,...
:29:29
.. highly valuable information
regarding the financing of the Suez Canal.
:29:34
- A Cabinet secret?
- Indeed.
:29:38
In a subsequent transaction,...
:29:40
.. the Baron made for himself
three quarters of a million pounds.
:29:44
And you?
:29:47
I received from the Baron £110,000.
:29:54
You were worth more, Robert.
:29:56
No. No, no.
:29:58
I got exactly what I wanted.
:30:00
I entered straight into Parliament
and I've...
:30:03
Well, I've never looked back.
:30:06
Is it fair that some act of youthful folly...
:30:09
.. should be brought up against me
all these years later?
:30:12
Robert, life is never fair!
:30:15
Perhaps it's a good thing
for most of us that it's not.
:30:18
Now, what does Gertrude
make of all this?
:30:24
Robert.
:30:27
My dear Robert,
secrets from other people's wives...
:30:31
.. are a necessary luxury in modern life.
:30:34
But no man should have a secret
from his own wife.
:30:37
She invariably finds it out.
:30:39
If I were to tell her, Arthur, I would lose
the love of the one woman I worship.
:30:44
I couldn't tell her,...
:30:45
.. but it... did strike me
that perhaps you might...
:30:51
Go on.
:30:52
Well, perhaps you might...
:30:54
.. talk with her.
:30:56
- Oh, really?
- Not to tell her, of course.
:30:59
But... just to talk with her.
