It's awful the incompetence of our Government, and the rates and taxes that high!...

And there's you and me by this roadside, and me no more use than a tattie-bogle....

That's the situation, and the question is what's our plan to be?
We must keep the blagyirds in play till the police come, and at the same time we must keep the Princess out of danger.

That's why I'm wanting back, for they've sore need of a business head.

Yon Sir Archibald's a fine fellow, but I doubt he'll be a bit rash, and the Princess is no' to hold or bind.
