British Rep. And now, if your Highness no longer requires my presence——.
Khe. (interrupting). But I do. As I have already said, I've a lot of things to ask you. Now, I want to know whether it would be to the benefit of the fellaheen if I visited the theatre more frequently?
British Rep. Your Highness will use your own discretion. I think I may say, without further reference to Downing Street, that Her Majesty's Government will have not the slightest objection to your Highness indulging in any innocent recreation.
Khe. Come—that's very good of them. But don't go. Look here. There will be no great harm if I wear brown leather boots?
British Rep. I think not, if your Highness, by the exhibition of such a preference, does not wound the susceptibilities of other Powers. And now, your Highness, with your permission, I think I must withdraw.
Khe. Very well. If you won't stay any longer I suppose you won't. If I want any more advice I will send over to you.
British Rep. I am extremely obliged to your Highness.
[Bows, and exit.
Khe. Glad he's gone! And now that I have consulted him about everything, I think I will have a little recreation on my own account. What shall I do? Oh, I know, I will dismiss the entire Ministry!
[Does so.
