Yes, the blue one would be better. Oh, young Tommy. Yes, I remember him. He was the one with the pink suit and the interesting haircut? And his needlepoint was exquisite. Lovely boy. You two seemed to get along very well. And doesn't his father have an OBE? I thought so. A father with an OBE is a sign of a good British family. They're the sort of friends you need.

Anything for our little boy. Aha. Aha. A whip and a riding crop? Dear, aren't they the same thing? Oh, they're not. Do you really need both? I see. That makes sense, I guess. Leather boots. Of course, an equestrian needs sound boots. So what is this training equipment? What does it do?

Yes dear, some lunch would be nice. Oh, so it builds stamina and teaches control. Stretches the inner thigh muscles? Invigorates the lower intestine? Really? But how does it help you with horse riding? I see, it's an academy secret. Well, I think it sounds worthwhile. We'll send you the money.
Elizabeth, noooo...
