I poured two cups of tea today. One to drink, one to watch go cold.

Madame RosetteYour Majesty's tea set always comes in pairs.
Empress MatildeYour eyes are too sharp for your own good, Madame.
Nora the MaidI saw nothing at all.
Empress MatildeThat's how you last long in this work, dear.

Edgar the ArchivistSignet loan records close the same day they're checked out. No exceptions.
Empress MatildeThe archivist is always so diligent. I do hope that diligence lasts.
Sir LeonYour Majesty, who exactly were you speaking of just now?

Left elsewhere

Your Highness, you do seem to keep careful count of what bothers you.
