A servant ought to have his vails, and, besides, William's concern amused me a good crown's worth.
"And the fellow who carries it through is going to wear a bigger jewel in his crown, so to speak?" he asked aloud. Koppy glowered. "Then why not cop it yourself, old man? My crown's getting a bit top-heavy already. You got a finer sense of balance, and your neck's stronger.
