:25:00
What? Hm?
:25:02
An actress.
:25:06
A what?
:25:07
An actress.
:25:10
At Cockerell's Tavern.
:25:11
The Cockpit put up a little stage.
:25:13
Very tatty, but still.
:25:15
My, my, it's a joke.
:25:17
- It's a fake. Jimmy Noakes...
- I know Jimmy Noakes.

:25:21
And it was not Jimmy Noakes.
It was not any man.

:25:23
It was a girl.
:25:24
But it's illegal.
:25:25
One did think as much.
:25:29
Wha...
:25:32
A woman playing a woman.
What's the trick in that?

:25:35
What was the play?
:25:39
No!
:25:41
If you're wondering,
she did not play the Moor.

:25:49
- How was she?
- What?

:25:51
Oh, you mean the acting?
I never noticed the acting.

:25:54
Did you go round after?
:25:56
Oh, too crowded. Pepys went.
:25:58
If two mice were fucking in a nutshell,
:26:00
he'd find room to squeeze in
and write it down.

:26:02
What was her name? The "actress"?
:26:05
- Er, Mrs Margaret Hughes.
... Margaret Hughes.

:26:08
The word is, she's going to be
at the Palace tomorrow night.

:26:11
The Palace?
:26:14
Oh...
:26:15
Are you invited?
:26:17
I'm the Duke of Buckingham.
I always am.

:26:19
Are you going?
:26:21
- I might drop by.
- Take me there.

:26:25
- You want to go to the Palace?
- Yes.

:26:28
- With me?
- Yes.

:26:32
You'll go as an acquaintance
who behaves himself.

:26:35
If you try to grow your part,
you'll find the role's been cut.

:26:40
Agreed.
:26:43
Right, then. Oh, Ned...
:26:47
Put this on, will you?
:26:52
I like to see a golden flow as I die in you.
