[first lines]
Hyacinth : [opening the door just as the postman is about to slip a letter through] Aaaaah! What have you got?
The Postman : Heart failure.
[hands her the letter]
Hyacinth : Well, this can't be it. This is a bill; this isn't it. It *should* be on stiff white card from the Lord Chamberlain's Office.
The Postman : What should?
Hyacinth : Our invitation. To the Royal Garden Party. My husband has recently retired after a lifetime of devoted service to the community. Now, that means an invitation to the Royal Garden Party; bound to.
The Postman : Oh, bound to.
Hyacinth : Mr. Hislop at number 43 went to the Royal Garden Party last year, and he only drives a C registration.
[the postman starts off]
Hyacinth : Are you sure there's nothing else in your bag?
The Postman : Not for this address, Mrs. Bu... Bouquet.
Hyacinth : Well, that's very strange. It must be lying about somewhere, lost in the depths of your sorting office.
The Postman : Your husband retired, has he?
Hyacinth : Mm-hmm.
The Postman : Wow! If anybody deserves a garden party!
Hyacinth : Exactly.
