Thank you for mentioning it.
It will supply a delightful topic of conversation next time I am honoured by a few minutes of his gracious Majesty's attention, and will save me from floundering into trite remarks about the weather .-- And now take me to the Sphinx, Schehati.

There is a question I would ask of It, just as the sun dips below the horizon.".
