The Foreign Office
- The Foreign Office: Do you mean to say, Northbrook, that you know nothing about Carpathia whatever?
- Northbrook: Don't even know where the beastly place is, for a start.
- The Foreign Office: How long have you been in the foreign office?
- Northbrook: 15 years, sir, but I'm in the Far Eastern Department.
- The Foreign Office: Now, that's no excuse. What would you think if I knew nothing of Siam?
- Northbrook: Don't think I'd mind much.
- The Foreign Office: That sort of remark will get you nowhere, Northbrook.
- Northbrook: Not even out of this job?
- The Foreign Office: Certainly not! Your predecessor has had a riding accident and you are now in his saddle.
