    Oh I looked it up. Where are you going dear?

    In plain English, it means "Goodbye, my friend". I suppose a modern version of this expression would be something like "Laters, my man", or something equally unintelligible.
    These types of expression were current amongst the British - specifically, the English - upper classes in the 1920's and 30's, which were The Queen Mother's formative years. A similar expression of farewell of the time was "Toodle Pip, old bean". To see many more examples of this type of language, you should read any of PG Wodehouse's "Bertie Wooster and Jeeves" novels. There is a school of thought which suggests that the frivolousness of the language was a reaction to the horrors of the First World War.
