[Later, McAngus shows the letters to Edmund, who laughs triumphantly]
Good, excellent! It's certainly my mother's handwriting. When did you say these were written?
Er, 1460.
The year my brother was born... [laughs] Baldrick, get in here! [Baldrick enters] Baldrick, get out there and tell everyone that the rest of the entertainments have been cancelled.
Why?
"Why"? Because I told you to, you silly little rat!
No, why have they been cancelled, My Lord?
Oh, I see. Well, tell them I have a very important announcement to make. [laughs]
Does that mean I have to take the dress off?
Oh, get out, get out, get out! Out, out, out, out!
[As Baldrick left, McAngus reaches between Baldrick's legs from behind]
You know, if you played your cards right, you could become King.
Ah yes, one day.
Ah, sooner than you think, maybe. The last time I saw your father, he'd just charged into Constantinople when they shut the gates on him.
[excited] Oh?
Aye. Ten thousand of the Turks were there armed with scimitars, and your father with a small knife for peelin' fruit.
[Edmund can barely contain himself, covering his mouth as he giggles]
