William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne in Victora 1×1: “Doll 123″

“I wish I could just retire to Brocket Hall and contemplate the rooks.”

“The rooks must wait. Your queen needs you, your party needs you, and I would very much like a place at court.”

“In that case, Emma, I say I have no choice but to shoulder my burden.”
