"But why why does she send me away?" The cook failed to recognize his opportunity to lie in time. "Well, the fact is " he hesitated. "The boss Prince Joro's sending you away. You see, she's going to get hitched up-big important guy. They didn't want you around, bustin' up things every time you turn around. So they're sendin' you back home."

"I am aware of the propaganda work. It was by my order that the facilities were extended to you. I am also aware that the princess escaped from Joro's palace. An amazing piece of bungling!
The council is locked up. It can't escape!" Events were transpiring too fast for comprehension. It was several days later, on a bench in Prince Joro's palace grounds, that Sira summed it up for Sime Hemingway. "I'm going to accept the throne!" she said. "I'm going to be a real queen.
