- Siegfried Farnon: Well, he certainly did a magnificent job. When you consider that he never expected to be king.
- James Herriot: It's just as well he was.
- Siegfried Farnon: Oh, absolutely. Such a good man. Such a simple man. Bertie. An extraordinary sense of... duty. And a sense of honor.

- Calum Buchanan: Aye, that's true. He put the lady before his duty, didn't he?
- Siegfried Farnon: Yes, he did... .Well, we must all look forward to a new reign. A second Elizabethan Age. It's curious, you know, this country's always done well under her queens. Queen Elizabeth the First. Queen Anne. Queen Victoria. And now, Queen Elizabeth the Second. Will it be a new golden age of... great poetry, music, discovery, I wonder? Who can tell?
