I come from the lower class. I do what I am told without question. I can not read. I have not seen my family in a long time.
is there anything i can get for you gentlemen today Thank you, Jimothy, I'm quite fine at the moment. Just waiting on word from the Guard to let this merchant through.  would you like me to run and check and see what the hold up is Actually, would you happen to know if we were expecting any visitors today?  i think we are as they asked me to wash extra dishes they are expecting many guest you better be prepared Ah that explain the new faces I've been seeing around the palace today. Would you happen to know what the special occasion is?  public execution today in the square Execution!? We haven't had one of those in years! Who is the lucky fellow?  seems that one of the guards has been slacking on his duties Certainly that good for nothing Dudley! Always going on about how hell make captain of the guard one day but he never gets anything done!  well you better keep an eye out i think they are looking at all the guards now to see if any others should be executed Bah why would I be worried? I practically run the whole place!
