"Her Majesty seemed oblivious to the discussion, and concentrated 
all of her attention on a plate of sliced peaches, grapes, and
rednuts that had been covered with a decoction of white wine and
cinnamon mixed with sugar and sweet cream,  all surrounded by 
tiny blocks of ice carved into the shape of trees.  Khaavren,
after noting it, turned his eyes firmly away, feeling

lord?  Are you well?  You seem pale and are pitching most alarmingly,
and I beg you to--hullo?  My lord?  Help, someone!  Help!  The
Captain has been taken ill!'"
