[Urquhart and Elizabeth are watching architects chart the grounds of Parliament for a memorial to Margaret Thatcher]
Elizabeth: The Margaret Thatcher Memorial. Is there really no way of preventing it?
Urquhart: It would seem not. It's all been paid for out of the Foundation. And the site was earmarked fifteen years ago, apparently. For a time, there seemed some possibility of putting it up in Grantham. Where no one would have to look at it.
Elizabeth: Except the unfortunate inhabitants. Where is Grantham, anyway?
Urquhart: No one seems quite sure.
Elizabeth: Couldn't the Arts Council do something about it?
Urquhart: You forget, my dear. We abolished the Arts Council a year ago.
Elizabeth: Of course. Department of National Heritage?
Urquhart: No, not their pidgeon, apparently. It seems the best we can hope for is to keep the scale of that thing down and perhaps plan a somewhat larger memorial of oneself to stand nearby.
