“Very sorry can't come. Lie follows by post.”

Telegram to the Prince of Wales, declining a summons to dine.
Quoted in R. Nevill, The World of Fashion, 1837-1922 (1923), ch. 5
Quotation from Sir Winston Churchill on Lord Charles Beresford :
"He is one of those orators of whom it was well said. Before they get up, they do not know what they are going to say, when they are speaking, they do not know what they are saying, and when they have sat down, they do not know what they have said".
