As England was his faithful tributary,
As love between them like the palm might flourish,

Without debatement further, more or less,
He should the bearers put to sudden death,
Not shriving time allow'd. — William Shakespeare

And it was why he loved her. One of the reasons, anyway. Because he also loved her bratty
comebacks. He loved the way she put her entire self behind whatever she was doing, even if she had no
