Logue helped George prepare for his Coronation broadcast and all big speeches until the end of WWII. By Christmas 1945, he felt confident enough to manage on his own. "You know, Ma'am," Logue said to Queen Elizabeth, "I feel like a father who is sending his boy to his first public school."  The Queen patted his arm and replied, "I know just how you feel."

by so many to so few."
