72

If there Was any shortcoming at all, it has been made up by the honour of our sight of your Majesty.

We do not show ourselves to the general public, but your great devotion and loyalty to us has made it a pleasure for us not to deny ourselves to you.

It is truly hard for us, your Majesty, to bear the weight of your gracious favours.

We are afraid we shall not be able to stop here long.

I have thought so, already: you do not quite look up to it.
