Verbatim (witness's words)

In fact, someone in his audience… I was there one night and she said, “Neville, I have heard it said that you drink. Do you drink? He said, “Do I drink?! Of course, I drink. And he said, “May I tell you I do nothing in moderation.” (Laughter) He said, “They used to tell me, ‘You’re just like your father,’ and I am. My father finished a fifth of gin every morning of his life before ten o’clock.

Neville (as quoted): "Do I drink?! Of course, I drink. [...] May I tell you I do nothing in moderation. [...] They used to tell me, ‘You’re just like your father,’ and I am. My father finished a fifth of gin every morning of his life before ten o’clock."
