Description
Humbrill: Please, I implore you, sire. I am but a lowly beggar. There is no need to add my bones to your castle. The king and his concubines, consorts, and court of servants laugh. King Hershmill: My greatest enemies do not receive that honor, let alone a small thief. No, the bones you see all around you are the bones of my family and our most faithful servants. My very bones will be there someday. Bound to the crown, devoted to the keep. Even in death, we serve the kingdom. As your crime was plundering two chickens, you, a poor hungry beggar, shall be my servant. Your bones might be of the keep someday, just not today.
