- Lord Elwyn, pray, why is being royalty the appropriate reward for all
- excellence?

- The poetry that moves this great clanking anachronism has room for a
- lot of things; permit me to doubt that it has room for 'I am Arthur,
- King of the Britons, because I was given a set of carpentry tools
- by the Lady of the Lake and am the second best woodworker the world
- will ever see.' (He can't be better than St. Joseph, and Jesus is
- unfair competition. :)
