So many jealous young ladies, here. I wonder if my sweet bride has noticed the looks she's been getting from some of them? Very few of them hide their feelings as well as you do, Eliza. Even the Eastern born don't have your unique proficiency at that particular skill. They sniff and sigh and glare at her from behind their fans.

All of them were interesting for a time -- but only for a time. I wish they could understand that. They just weren't especially interesting. That can hardly be held against me, can it -- or, for that matter, against Anita?

Well. In any case, I hope that none of them will do something unfortunate to my little love. It would be very ill-considered, I think, if they did. She's taking quite well to the court, and all the ladies who don't have a vested interest in me are quite fond of her.

Do you love that song about me and the rest of the heroes of the realm so very much, Anita? You've been humming it all morning!
