More rotten language

Mrs Brown, the film, is on in the background and I have just heard the following purported representations of language from Britain of the 19th century.

 

The Prince of Wales said that he wanted to speak WITH his mother, the Queen. As if he would have said any such thing.

 

John Brown himself said that he was looking OUT for the Queen when he would have said that he was looking after her.
