I poured two cups of tea today. One to be drunk. One to be watched as it goes cold.

• Madame RosetteYour Majesty's tea set always comes in twos, I've noticed.
  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 palace, child.
