Mr. Robert Crawshaw, M.P., of Curzon Street sounds so
much more--more Cabinety.
CRAWSHAW. Mr. Robert Wurzel-Flummery, M.P., of Curzon Street--I
don't know what _that_ sounds like.
MARGARET. I expect that's only a legal way of putting it, dear.
They can't really expect us to change our name to--Wurzley-Fothergill.
CRAWSHAW. Wurzel-Flummery.
MARGARET. Yes, dear, didn't I say that? I am sure you could talk
the solicitor round--this Mr. Denis Clifton. After all, it doesn't
matter to him what we call ourselves. Write him one of your
letters, dear.
CRAWSHAW. You don't seem to apprehend the situation, Margaret.
MARGARET. Yes, I do, dear. This Mr.--Mr.--
CRAWSHAW. Antony Clifton.
MARGARET. Yes, he's left you fifty thousand pounds, together with
the name of Wurzley-Fothergill--
CRAWSHAW. Wurzel--oh, well, never mind.
MARGARET. Yes, well, you tell the solicitor that you will take the
fifty thousand pounds, but you don't want the name. It's too
absurd, when everybody knows of Robert Crawshaw, M.P., to expect
you to call yourself Wurzley-Fothergill.
CRAWSHAW (impatiently). Yes, yes. The point is that this Mr.
Clifton has left me the money on _condition_ that I change my name.
If I don't take the name, I don't take the money.
MARGARET. But is that legal?
CRAWSHAW. Perfectly.
