“I have been with the Court all my life, travelling with the King's Progress.
I didn't know how to go on. I sat and stared at this sentence, until Grundo said, "If you can't do it, I will."

He was threatening me with half a page of crooked writing with words like "inside" turning up as "sindie" and "story" as "otsyr".”
