no; Not in a million years, my dear fellow, not if you offered me a fortune that could buy every manor in the countryside, nor if the entire royal family were to present themselves on bended knee with all the pomp and circumstance of Buckingham Palace. Not even if the sun itself decided to rise in the West and set in the East, nor if you were to charm the very heavens themselves into granting your request. It's as though you were asking me to abandon all my principles, my good name, and my decency—all for the most ludicrous and impossible of causes! I would sooner take a swim in a vat of treacle than agree to such a notion. A most emphatic no, my good man, and don’t you dare ask me again, old sport, not for all the riches of India, not even if you were to offer me a lifetime’s supply of the finest crumpets and tea!
