Beaverbrook is so pleased to be in the government that he is like the town tart who finally married the Mayor.

Summary

This quote is a humorous analogy that implies that Beaverbrook, who is expressed as being very pleased to be in the government, is comparable to a promiscuous person in a small town who finally manages to marry the highest-ranking individual, which in this case is the Mayor. The quote suggests that Beaverbrook's happiness stems from the thrill of being part of a powerful position rather than his genuine dedication or competence in serving the government.
