"Papa had to say it to Grandpapa," Elizabeth informed her sister. "It's only proper."
Margaret scowled. "I don't see why."
"It's to show respect," Elizabeth explained. "To be king, that's like being two people at once. He's our papa, but he's also His Majesty."
A hint of rebelliousness remained in Margaret's face. "Shall we have to say it every time we see him?"
"I think so. But," Elizabeth brightened, "in the palace there will be room there for all the horses. We shan't have to stable them in the hallway any longer."
"That will be good," Margaret agreed more happily.
