Always waiting for someone To ask for her hand

Then out of the blue Comes this groovy young man

Who vows forever To be by her side

Die, die, we all pass away

But don 't wear a frown, Because it's really okay

You might try and hide And you might try and pray

But we all end up The remains of the day

Yeah.

Victoria, come away from the window.

Oh, I'm sure he'll be back shortly.

He's terrified of the dark. In fact, when he was a boy...

...he used to wet his combinations regularly, didn't he, William?

Enter.

Lord Barkis. I trust the room is to your liking.

Thank you, you are a most gracious hostess.

Which is why it pains me to be the bearer of such bad news.

Would you care to repeat tonight's headline for us?

Hear ye, hear ye!

Victor Van Dort seen this night on the bridge in the arms of a mystery woman!

The dark-haired temptress and Master Van Dort slipped away into the night!
