"I'm sorry," she says to Marian. "But as far as I know, he hasn't anything he needs to say to me, but if he sees me, he'll feel it's his duty to think of something, and then we shall be stuck here till dinner time.

"Is the King in?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Thank you," Amy says, beckoning for Marian to follow her. She pauses in the door to look over at Sir Geoffrey again. "You're very kind to wait until I've gone in before you start laughing."
