“Having all these great dukes around every spring
makes life here crowded!”
“Yes, but it’s not so bad this time, is it?”
“Don’t you think it’s bad news when they’re here? An-
other war? Are the Saxons going to come here again?”
“Listen, darlings, if it’s the king and the dukes,
then no Saxons are going to get close to here.”
“Well, I’ll say that having all these men around is
pleasure for some of us!” [everyone laughs]
