Elizabeth, the Queen Mother Quote

I wouldn't if I were you, Noël; they count them before they put them out.


Murmured to the gay writer Sir Noël Coward at a gala. While she mounted a staircase lined with Guards, she noticed Coward's eyes flicker momentarily over the soldiers.


I wouldn't if I were you, Noël; they count them before they put them out.

I wouldn't if I were you, Noël; they count them before they put them out.

I wouldn't if I were you, Noël; they count them before they put them out.

I wouldn't if I were you, Noël; they count them before they put them out.
