Now THAT’S the response I was expecting. Still, sorry to see key players are gone. I don’t think the Queen’s going to like what Alice just did. wish we didn’t have to wait a month to see what happens next. (Place emoticon doing a big sigh here.) As they no longer seem to have that one available.
I’m placing bets on them being fast friends, as this seems to be the way her highness treats the stooges.
Also, as much as I mourn for Eaton we do at least know that Jarvis is safe, and as such this adventure shan’t descend into anarchy and turmoil *just* yet
Not so long as Godfrey (whom, for some unknown reason, I previously called Jarvis??) is still afoot! A good British butler has a stabilizing power on all situations that is positively unrivaled.
I do, however, anticipate that Alice will put his abilities to the test. 😉
But perhaps only *she* (the Queen) is allowed to distribute said violence. Like how only I get to hit my brother. If you hit him, I’ll be distributing some violence your way.
Wait – violence never solves anything. Or does it?
All right! Alice finally gets to dish some violence out! She’s been waiting so long.
I guess this means that Dult’s comment about “We” was just him being cute and cryptic. O.K., although it means there are other questions regarding the requills. I look forward to having them answered.
Get ‘im! Gotta love a lady willing to give out a proper punch for appropriate reasons despite the risk to herself. I love th is lady. She has the intestinal fortitude to make all heroic folks proud!
I’m surprised, that punch was actually justified on her behalf, of course it’s still possible that he didn’t bother correcting her about the killing and eating part.
Ultima ratio …
“Last” ratio? Eric, explain. The comment seems non sequitur, and a curious one at that.
Erik, I’m with jsfury on this one… in the Please-Explain-Department.
Its latin. Means Last Argument, more or less, as I understand.
Supposedly was written on French King’s cannons, as the phase “Ultima Ratio Regum”, as in, The Last Argument of Kings.
I approve this message!
10-4. understood. Thank you sir.

Sorry for the lack of emoji support. You do mean emojis, right? I might be able to find an emoji plugin for WordPress.
As for predicting Her Highness’s response to anything… I don’t lay any bets.

So, JJ, you fully expect things to descend into anarchy? I don’t know. That sounds really time-consuming to draw.
Not so long as Godfrey (whom, for some unknown reason, I previously called Jarvis??) is still afoot! A good British butler has a stabilizing power on all situations that is positively unrivaled.

I don’t know. I suspect that she has a wide range of people she approves of violence towards an Dult is one of them.
Remember, she cut he husband’s head off. True, he was a statue, but the message is plain. I will do worse to you if you give me reason.
To be fair, many ex-spouses feel much the same way.
They rarely actually do it. They just try to get full custody of the kids.
And no one said it’s an EX-husband. They could still be married. Not happily, but still, it’s a threat.
And by the way, why is there a line for website if no website ever shows up?
True. True. WordPress.
But perhaps only *she* (the Queen) is allowed to distribute said violence. Like how only I get to hit my brother. If you hit him, I’ll be distributing some violence your way.
Wait – violence never solves anything. Or does it?
Did she punch him because he ate Captain Eaton, he didn’t eat Mr Farthing, or she just wanted to punch someone and he happened to be closest.
Maybe.
But I suspect she’s against eating people on principle.
Keep in mind she punched Eaton in Chapter One… and the Reverend as well.
Oh, I’d forgotten that.
All of the above?
All right! Alice finally gets to dish some violence out! She’s been waiting so long.

Frank! Thanks for reminding me! I just now edited the “me” into an “us”… as it should be 😉
Oh! Now it’s all cryptic again. Cool.
You’re welcome. Any time.
What, no proofreading award? Well, I guess if it’s by accident, I didn’t really deserve it, did I?
A Special Edition For Frank!!!
Woo-hoo!
Get ‘im! Gotta love a lady willing to give out a proper punch for appropriate reasons despite the risk to herself. I love th is lady. She has the intestinal fortitude to make all heroic folks proud!
Cool. I agree with you. I like her too… though if she existed in Real Life I might be just a tad intimidated by her.
You’re only saying that because she’s intimidating.
This is a right socko story, mate! Keep up the good work (as, where, when, and however you can).
Thanks, Brother Parvus. And thanks a second time for using “right socko” in a sentence!!!
I’m surprised, that punch was actually justified on her behalf, of course it’s still possible that he didn’t bother correcting her about the killing and eating part.
Oh, Alice isn’t into violence for the sake of it. She’s just REALLY MAD at Philo.
