Bernardo's assertion that for many citizens of
the lion -hearted land the
rock of splendor might not be so very splendid
after all alienates the entire
cabinet with the exception of
the seventh
Earl of
Shaftesbury who as
Anthony
Ashley
Cooper and under his noble handle has already
dedicated a huge part of his life to
the causes of unfortunate factory children,
the underprivileged and the deprived.
He is the one
minister who agrees to go with
Bernardo and witness the crisis for
himself.
On the rooftops,
Shaftesbury is horrified by what
he sees and pledges his support.
However, he warns
Bernardo
he has set himself a truly monumental
task.
A reprise of the
mob's complaint
rubs this point in.
