The Foreign Office : How long have you been in the foreign office?
Northbrook : 15 years, sir, but I'm in the Far Eastern Department.
The Foreign Office : Now, that's no excuse. What would you think if I knew nothing of Siam?
Northbrook : Don't think I'd mind much.
The Foreign Office : That sort of remark will get you nowhere, Northbrook.
Northbrook : Not even out of this job?
