I am a countess.  I am the cousin of the king.  I wish I was ruler.
Welcome to my humble home. Are you here about my cousin, The King. No ma'am, I do not know The King.  Please accept this beautiful handkerchief for your hospitality. Oh, thank you kind guest. My cousin does not seem to remember me, living alone in this cottage. I am so sorry to hear that.  I have no family so I am unsure how you feel.  Thank you so much for this wonderful meal. I wish I had more food for you. If I were ruler I would make sure you had plenty. Oh no, what you have given me is plenty. My stomach is full.  However, now that I have a full belly I am so sleepy. You may warm yourself by the fire if you wish, but your servant will have to go out. Thank you for all you have done also.  I will warm myself now. Would you care for a Ale before you rest? I may not have much but my cousin occasionally sends me a good Ale. That would be wonderful.  I am so thirsty. Here, my finest. Oh you are most wonderful.  Let me put this down so I can take the goblet.
