Second W. I. M. (suspiciously). Oh, I haven't seen one for some time. It may perhaps be a little different now.
Average Man. Ah! [A pause.
Inquirer. I see the Government's going to have an inquiry about Agricultural Distress. How are they going to work it?
First W. I. M. Royal Commission, of course.
Second W. I. M. No, no. It's going to be a Select Committee.
First W. I. M. Well, what is the difference?
Second W. I. M. Surely you know that. They only have Royal Commissions for labour and that sort of thing. Committees don't get any pay, you know.
Inquirer. Of course. I ought to have remembered that. But who's this Lord Winchilsea and Nottingham, who's cutting about the country, talking about agriculture! What does he know about it? I don't seem to recollect his name.
First W. I. M. He's a Peer.
Inquirer. Yes, I know that; but why do they call him Lord Winchilsea and Nottingham?
