• Robin Janvrin : The Prime Minister is on his way, ma'am.

  HM Queen Elizabeth II : To be, Robin, Prime Minister to be. I haven't asked him yet.

• [Cherie has just offered a shallow curtsy. The Queen looks at her and smiles] 

  HM Queen Elizabeth II : Mrs. Blair, lovely to see you, and congratulations.

  [the Queen shakes Cherie's hand] 

  HM Queen Elizabeth II : You must be very proud, and exhausted, I imagine. Where will you be spending the summer?

  Cherie Blair : Erm, France.

  HM Queen Elizabeth II : Oh, lovely.

  Tony Blair : You'll be in Balmoral?

  HM Queen Elizabeth II : Yes, yes, I can't wait. It's such a wonderful place. My great-great-grandmother Victoria once said 'Balmoral always seems to breathe peace and make one forget the world and its sad turmoils'.

  Robin Janvrin : [comes into room]  Your Majesty?

  HM Queen Elizabeth II : Oh, excuse me.

  [Robin whispers something inaudible into the Queen's ear] 

  HM Queen Elizabeth II : [to Tony and Cherie]  I'm so sorry, we're going to have to leave it there.

  [she shakes both their hands and they exit without showing their backs] 

  HM Queen Elizabeth II : [to Robin]  It wasn't too short was it? Fifteen minutes, one doesn't want to be rude.

  Robin Janvrin : No ma'am.
