'''Ralph''': And Scotland Yard found the negatives at his house this morning.
'''Graves''': By what right can you order my arrest!
'''Ralph''': By the Treason Act of 1702, forbidding interference in the proper succesion of a monarch. Enacted by...[pause, as he recites the Order of the Kings poem to himself] William the Third! }}
