forgive me, gentlemen. i'm late. i came as quickly as i could. i beg your pardon? good lord. i couldn't agree with you more, but i am only dean of windsor. i don't understand what . what can we do? you wished to see me, ma'am? your majesty, a settled resignation is more lasting proof of affection than active grief. if the good lord sees fit to bring one into contact with congenial fellow beings, one should not analyze one's reaction too deeply. to allow oneself to be comforted by someone else need not imply any disloyalty to the memory of the loved one. praise and magnify thy glorious name for that thou has raised thy servant albert edward, prince of wales from the bed of sickness. we pray thee to perfect the recovery of thy servant and to crown him day by day with more abundant blessings both for body and soul, through jesus christ our lord .
