the next day.
a few days later, four journalists are scrabbling up a stony path, armed with telescopes.
a large royal party is making its way smoothly and quietly up the mountain. brown is on horseback, leading victoria on a dapple-grey.
the journalists rattle up the hill.
brown and victoria start pulling ahead of the main party.
the journalists scramble up to some gorse bushes, dump themselves down and start setting up the telescopes.
brown and victoria near the summit when brown suddenly stops. he stiffens and turns to face the wind, as if catching a scent. victoria frowns.
the journalists are peering through their telescopes.
an hour later, brown leads disraeli up the hill. brown has his head down, on with the job. disraeli slows to a halt.
