your majesty, i know it is a.  a festive time, but before --
 before the party begins --
we do not wish to delay you, majesty, but.  as your advisors, we feel it is our -- our --
yes! it is our duty to let you know.  there are riots in paris.
well yes, of course, majesty, and i'm sure they are content.  except that.  well, they are starving.
majesty.  we have more than enough food set aside for your birthday celebration next week. if we distributed some of that, we would have time to gather more before --
that food has spoiled. that is why it was not shipped to the army.
what.  an excellent idea, your majesty!
we will tell him, when it is.
 and i only say that.  the rotten food was.  all my fault.  and i take.  full responsibility.  and beg the forgiveness of you all.
