[At first, this sounds like an old radio is being tuned until a recording is being suddenly broadcast. As it progresses, however, the sound becomes clearer and sharper... like an image coming into focus, but with sound.]

-calm... and firm... in this time... of trial.

The task will be hard. There may be dark days... ahead, and war... can no longer... be... confined... a-to the battlefield, but we can only do the rr-ight as we see the rr-ight, and rrr-everently commit... our cause... to God.

If one and all.. we keep... rr-esolutely... faithful... to-it then... with God's help... we shall... p-prevail.


[The speaker takes a deep, shaky breath, and then-]


What the fuck?!

There should be windows somewhere between where you are and getting coffee. That's really the only wat yo prove it.

I know you told Miguel your name is Beryie but I'm actually quite familiar with who you are. I'll keep it a secret if you want.

Ah. Rrr-right. Ah-of course you are.

[Pause, thinking...]

I-- I d-doubt that... it w-will rr-emain a... secret for long. But... for now? I-if you can. Some time to... fffigure things out.

Well, you are my second favorite British monarch.

I'll keep it quiet as long as I can. Though there are people here from the time when you ruled. Like my dad.

[Bit of a laugh] How very... generous of you. D-d-dare I ask... who your... fffirst favourite... might be?

Thank you. I -- appreciate that. Ah-Even if... it can only... be for an-- an-- hour or so, it... w-w-will be... a great help.

That would actually be your daughter Elizabeth.

Hopefully it'll be a little longer than that.

[There is a smile in his voice] Ah, well... in th-that case, I... suppose she w-would be-- mm-my favourite, too. Th-then... it is --true...that it is not....ah 1939. I-i-if she is... monarch, and-and-and- your fffather is from then, ah not you.

Ah well. W-w-we shall.. we shall see.

Definitely not 1939. That was 80 years ago. And to make things even stranger, I'm not from this year either. I was born in 2013. I'm supposed to be turning six in my, but I'll be turning 25.

Elizabeth is currently the longest ruling British monarch. Even longer than Victoria. And she's loved all over the world.

[A long, long pause.]

...I'm... g-going to fffocus... on the p-part wh-where-- where you ... said Elizabeth is-is-is loved... all over the w-w-world. The- ah- the- rrr-est of it's... kuh-kuh-completely insane, and I'm....cursing my own- ah- mental arithmetic.

That's a good part to focus on. There's a subset of Americans known as Anglophiles that adore all things English. And she's a big part of that.

She always wears bright colors when she's out and about. And she's known for her corgis. There's even a picture of her laughing when she realizes her husband disguised himself as one of the royal guards. It's great.

Really... corgis? Ah-just--- just--- like... like Dookie. She still...

[There is a slightly longer pause, then to himself-] I really am going completely mad, she's only thirteen.

She really does love corgis. They're the only dogs she's owned.

She's 13 to you. She'll be 93 in April. You have a grandson and a great great grandson that are named after you. Though your grandson is Charles, George is one of his names.

Ch-Ch-- Charlie, please, please, p-please... tell me this-is not... some b-b-bizarre way of... ah telling me that you ah-are my... my grandson.

[He laughs]

Oh god no. My full name is Charles Bernard Barton Hemingway. To my knowledge I'm not related to you in any way. I don't know anything about my mother's family so I can't be certain about that. But I am definitely not your grandson.
