I am not aware that it is usual for subjects to contradict the King.

What have you to say in explanation ?" "Nothing.

The facts explain themselves well enough." "We are not in camp," said Philip.

"Your Highness is not in command here, and I am not your subordinate.

I desire you to remember whom you are addressing, for your words will be remembered." "I never said anything which I wished another to forget," answered Don John proudly.
"Take care, then!" The King spoke sullenly, and turned away, for he was slow at retort until he was greatly roused.
Don John did not answer, for he had no wish to produce such a result, and moreover he was much more preoccupied by the serious question of Dolores' safety than by any other consideration.
