The Queen Ito the KING: Wei. where are you
going?
The King: Hunting.
The Queen: Splendid For highboys. old prints
or what.
The King: For grouse, my dear.
The Queen: might have known It'll Always hunt
ing something quite useless. What on earth is the
sense OF being a grouse collector?
The King: They're really quite tasty.
The Queen; Just like your father; always thinking
Of his stomach.
The King OhurD: I must ask you not to refer 10
my fathers stomach in that way.
The Queen: It's the truth. Your father always.
The King: Pleasel
The Queen: Oh. very well. bother your fathers
stomach.
The King: 1t was bothered quite enough.
The Queen: Dear me-, We're way off the subject.
Where were we, anyhow?
The King: On my fathers stomach.
The Queen: I mean before that.
The King: Let me see. oh, yes. I remember. I
was going grouse hunting and you we're offering a
few critical remarks.
The Queen: Quite SO. Now. George. If you would
give up grouse and go in for old furniture 1t would
be much more satisfying. There's no recognition,
no prestige in acquiring grouse. You never hear any
one spoken OF as an illustrious grouse collector.
The King: ! know. but.
The Queen: Now. you take an exquisitely hand
carved oak chair of the Cromwelian period 49,.
The King: Id rather not. !. you don't mind.
The Queen: OF course you'd rather not. You can't
eat IT.
The King: Now. Mary, let's not argue. You like
Cromwellian chairs and I like grouse. that's all.
The Queen: It's because you're stubborn. why
George, I could take you to see a wonderful desk in
Yorkshire that is more than 600 years old.
The King: Even If you could, my dear. I hope you
wouldn't.
The Queen: II you voIld once come with me and
see some OF those wonderful old pieces you'd appre-
ciate my viewpoint.
The King: If YOU would once come with me and
shoot a few grouse you'd appreciate mine Really.
