"His Majesty asked my advice about your report." "Complicated fables indeed!" "I believe the Beast is a wolf." "I shall go out for it tomorrow." "I would rather you didn't come." "Why is that?" "The King left this affair to me, and to my sole discretion." "I have no need of you to end it." "On the table, there's a letter from Buff on and our beloved King." "I'm at his service, but believe me this is not..." "I've read your report." "Trouble yourself no longer with this Beast." "It's my affair." "You may go." "Come here."
