From first to last
A myriad of water drops

:01:07
And you, I love you for it
:01:10
Are the force that moves
And holds the form

:01:15
Ladies and gentlemen,
you've just heard a snippet...

:01:19
...from one of only two copies of this
poem by Mr. Randolph Henry Ash...

:01:25
...poet laureate to Queen Victoria
herself.

:01:29
And this gorgeous ode to his nuptial
bliss, written in his own hand...

:01:35
...begins our bidding today.
:01:37
May we start the bidding,
please, at 40,000 pounds?

:02:08
- Bit of an old monster.
- Yeah.

:02:12
But an important monster.
:02:14
- It's Randolph Ash's.
- Yes.

:02:17
Who are you with again?
:02:19
- I'm Roland Michell.
- Who?

:02:23
- Professor Blackadder's assistant.
- Isn't that Dr. Wolfe?

:02:27
Was. Fergus got the lectureship
at St. John's over me.

:02:31
Of course he did.
:02:33
Yes, Dr. Wolfe mentioned you.
You're that American who's over here.

:02:39
I'm sure there are others.
After all, you are our favorite colony.

:02:50
Any further offers on 10,000 pounds?
11,000 pounds.

:02:56
So when do your little suffragist
trinkets come up?

:02:59
Look! Maud, it's Mortimer Cropper.
