“but the king, alone, has no son. Whose fault is that?” “God’s?” “Nearer than God?” “The queen?” “More responsible for everything than the queen?” He can’t help a broad smile. “Yourself, Your Grace.” “Myself, My Grace. What am I going to do about it?”

“The saying goes that for a wound caused by a dog bite to heal you have to eat that same dog, and I did scoop up a mouthful for myself. No, in fact I ate an entire bowlful with rice. The smell of burnt flesh, which the perilla seeds couldn’t wholly mask, pricked my nose. I remember the two eyes that had watched me, while the dog was made to run on, while he vomited blood mixed with froth, and how later they had seemed to appear, flickering, on the surface of the soup. But I don’t care. I really didn’t care.”
