[Smiling.] Dear Arthur. The Khedive has asked you to recommend him an English secretary.
Anne.
Has he really? That's a change. He's never had an English secretary before.
Arthur.
Never.
Anne.
It's a wonderful opportunity.
Arthur.
If we get the right man he can be of the greatest possible help. If he's tactful, wise, and courteous, there's no reason why in time he shouldn't attain very considerable influence over the Khedive. If we can really get the Khedive to work honestly and sincerely with us, instead of hampering us by all kinds of secret devices, we can do miracles in this country.
Anne.
