“Hic jacet Arthurus Rex quandam Rexque futurus - the once and future king.”

“God save King Pendragon,May his reign long drag on,God save the King.Send him most gorious,Great and uproarious,Horrible and hoarious,God save our King.”

“a king can only work with his best tools.”

“The nice thing about the queen of Flanders' daughter, had been that she did not laugh at him. A lot of people laughed at you when you went after the Questing Beast - and never caught it - but Piggy never laughed.

Naturally, one did not pretend to be clever or anything, but it was nice not to be laughed at. One was doing one's best.”
