Quotes 

• Duke of Sutherland : A sticky moment, George.

  Lord Birkenhead : Thank God for Lindsay. I thought the lad had us beaten.

  Duke of Sutherland : He did have us beaten, and thank God he did.

  Lord Birkenhead : I don't quite follow you.

  Duke of Sutherland : The "lad", as you call him, is a true man of principles, and a true athlete. His speed is a mere extension of his life, its force. We sought to sever his running from himself.

  Lord Birkenhead : For his country's sake, yes.

  Duke of Sutherland : No sake is worth that, least of all a guilty national pride.

• Lord Cadogan : Hear, hear. In my day, it was King first, and God after.

  Duke of Sutherland : Yes, and the War to End Wars bitterly proved your point.
