Chief Superintendent Bright:
[satisfied] Her Royal Highness put everyone quite at their ease. A marvellous quality, don't you think?

DI Fred Thursday:
[interested] She spoke to you then, sir?

Chief Superintendent Bright:
[delighted] Oh yes. Protocol dictates of course that one has to wait for Her Royal Highness to speak to one first, of course.

[telephone rings]

DS Peter Jakes:
Morse, phone.

[Morse goes to answer the phone]

Chief Superintendent Bright:
[satisfied] "Have you come far?" she said. Just like that. Regular, familiar as you please. "Have you come far?"

DC Endeavour Morse:
[answering the phone] CID. Morse.

Chief Superintendent Bright:
[repeating what Her Royal Highness said] "Have you come far?"

DI Fred Thursday:
[interested] What did you say?

Chief Superintendent Bright:
[delighted] That I hadn't.

DI Fred Thursday:
One of the memoirs, sir?

Chief Superintendent Bright:
[delighted] Yes I think we can all take pride that everything went off without the slightest hitch.

DC Endeavour Morse:
[hangs up and enters the room] That was British Imperial, sir. A body's been found at the factory. Looks like murder.
