'Why, nuncle-'
'And I am not your nuncle.'
'N'aunt?' said the Fool.
'Why Jordan Heels . . . prithee . . . you need to finance your ambitious programme for the country.'
'Sorry?' said the duke, who was getting lost again.
'He means that chopping down trees costs money,' said the duchess. She smiled at the Fool. It was the first time he had ever seen her look at him as if he was other than a disgusting little Nike high heels cockroach. There was still a large element of cockroach in her glance, but it said: good little cockroach, you have learned a trick.
'Intriguing,' she said. 'But can your words change the past?'
The Fool considered this.
'More easily, I think,' he said. 'Because the past is what people remember, and memories are words. Who knows how a king behaved a thousand years ago? There Jordan heels is only recollection, and stories. And plays, of course.'
'Ah, yes. I saw a play once,' said Felmet. 'Bunch of funny fellows in tights. A lot of shouting. The people liked it.'
'You tell me history is what people are told?' said the duchess.
The Fool looked around the throne room and found King Gruneberry the Good (906-967).
'Was he?' he said, pointing. 'Who knows, now? Nike heels What was he good at? But he will be Gruneberry the Good until the end of the world.'
The duke was leaning forward in his throne, his eyes gleaming.
'I want to be a good ruler,' he said. 'I want people to like me. I would like people to remember me fondly.'
'Let us assume,' said the duchess, 'that there were other matters, subject to nike high heels controversy. Matters of historical record that had . . . been clouded.'
'I didn't do it, you know,' said the duke, quickly. 'He slipped and fell. That was it. Slipped and fell. I wasn't even there. He attacked me. It was self-defence. That's it. He slipped and fell on his own dagger in self-defence.' His voice fell to a mumble. 'I have no UGG Boots Clearance recollection of it at this time,' he murmured. He rubbed his dagger hand, although the word was becoming inappropriate.
'Be quiet, husband,' snapped the duchess. 'I know you didn't do it. I wasn't there with you, you may recall. It was I who didn't hand you the dagger.' The duke shuddered again.
