Windsor Castle

We just have two minutes here.

October 20th to 22nd, the Sultan of Oman has a three-day visit at Windsor Castle.

You suggest that's an opportunity for Washington and London to negotiate an accommodation with the so-called Houthi rebels.

Do I read you correctly?

It comes down to this.

Will the Houthis switch sides? Of course they will if you give them an alternative to extinction or fighting an existential war.

Absolutely.

Sultan Haytham, who was the cousin of the late Sultan Qaboos, is every bit as astute as Qaboos, by the way, is a great friend of the British and particularly the British crown.

You ...

Uh, and, and it was at Windsor Castle, which in itself is, uh, just the whole pomp and circumstance of it is quite sort of over- overwhelming.

And to have, you know, to have your work, or, uh, over the years, you know, r- um, recognized in that, uh, sense is, um, is a, a, a beautiful thing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was summoned to Windsor Castle.

Yeah, good.

And, no, it was good.

Yeah, he supplied carriages for the royal family on a number of occasions.

He was engaged at Windsor Castle originally, worked for the Queen, didn't he?

He certainly did.

In fact, he lived about three windows down from the Queen.

And I think laterally toward, you know, 1816, 17, 18, as he gets near his death, final year dementia of some form.

So he is in a straitjacket in Windsor Castle many, many days and becomes quite a tragic figure.

And if he could have seen what his son was up to, he would have been even more distressed, I think.

King George, you know, dies in 1820, but really as a monarch, the regency indicates that he was no longer capable fulfilling those duties from 1810.

And did Oberstein swallow the bait? Did he swallow it? He was arrested as he got off the boat at Folkestone.

Some weeks later, I learned incidentally that Holmes had spent a day at Windsor Castle and returned with a remarkably fine emerald tie pin.

When I asked him where he got it, he answered it was just a small present from a certain gracious little old lady for whom he'd been able to do a A small

It stretched straight in front of him for perhaps a third of a mile.

On the left were a low well-trimmed hedge, scattered trees, level fields, some small cottages lying back, remote poplars and a distant view of Windsor Castle.

On the right were level fields, a small inn and a background of low wooded hills.

A conspicuous feature in this tranquil landscape was the board advertisement of a riverside motel at Maidenhead.

He stopped in the profoundest astonishment.

This was an entirely different road from the one he had been upon half a minute before.

The hedges had changed, the trees had altered, Windsor Castle had vanished, and, a small compensation, the big limousine was in sight again.

It was standing by the roadside about two hundred yards away.
