[ { "role": "user", "content": "Well, My Lord, the Infanta’s eyes are bluer than it, for a start." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I see. And have you ever seen this stone?" } ]
[ { "role": "user", "content": "No, not as such, My Lord, but I know a couple of people who have, and they say it’s very very blue indeed." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "And have these people seen the Infanta’s eyes?" } ]
[ { "role": "user", "content": "No, I shouldn’t think so, My Lord." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "And neither have you, presumably." } ]
[ { "role": "user", "content": "No, My Lord." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "So, what you’re telling me, Percy, is that something you have never seen is slightly less blue than something else you have never seen." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Well, first we’ve got to get you looking right. Just need to drape something effeminate round your shoulders." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Either of the Beaufort Twins should do." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "“The Black Adder is venomous reptile–”" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No, no, no! This is no ordinary woman, Percy. This is a beautiful royal princess. Just imagine what the Spanish Infanta must be like." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Ah, bienvenido a nuestro castillo. Espero que encuentre los desagues a sus satisfaccion." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Hmm?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "It’s Spanish. It means “Welcome to our castle. I hope you find the drains to your satisfaction.” Well, here you are ; I’ve jotted it down for you. It should help to break the ice with the Infanta. Oh, by the way, I don’t think you know the Countess Caroline of Luxembourg." },...

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Well, good luck. Er, bienvenu a notre chateau, Caroline. J’espere que vous trouvez……" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Luxembourg, hah!" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "My God, have you ever seen anyone so obviously seething with jealousy?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No, I haven’t!" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Seethe, seethe, seethe. If he goes on seething like that much longer, he’ll turn into a seethe." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Baldrick, what are you talking about?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "My Lord…" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, what is it?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "You know, they do say that the Infanta’s eyes are more beautiful than the famous Stone of Galveston." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Mm! … What?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "The famous Stone of Galveston, My Lord." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "And what’s that, exactly?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Well, it’s a famous blue stone, and it comes from Galveston." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I see. And what about it?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Well, My Lord, the Infanta’s eyes are bluer than it, for a start." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I see. And have you ever seen this stone?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "No, not as such, My Lord, but I know a couple of people who have, and they say it’s very very blue indeed." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "And have these people seen the Infanta’s eyes?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "No, I shouldn’t think so, My Lord." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "And neither have you, presumably." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "No, My Lord." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "So, what you’re telling me, Percy, is that something you have never seen is slightly less blue than something else you have never seen." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Yes, My Lord." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Percy, in the end, you are about as much use to me as an hole in the head… …an affliction of which you must be familiar, never actually having had a brain." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "But, My Lord, you can’t just lock her out, you know." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Well, you may be right. That should hold her for at least a minute!" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Wait a moment, My Lord. I think I may have a plan to get you out of this marriage." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, but it’s a stupid plan, Percy, let’s face it!" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Oh, well, yes, yes, maybe you’re right." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "But… tell me what it is anyway." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "All right: I go along to the Infanta’s room and tell her that you’ve gone mad. She comes to the door, and you meet her disguised as a little pig.

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Well, then she’ll know you’re mad, and leave!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "You were right, Percy — you shouldn’t have bothered." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "My Lord…" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "What?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "I also have a plan." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Why not make her think you prefer the company of men?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "But I do, Baldrick, I do!" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Mm! And who would want to marry the Earle of Doncaster?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Well, no-one wou– Brilliant! Of course! No-one would marry the Earle of Doncaster! … except, perhaps, the Duke of Beaufort. Well, what are we going to do?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Well, first we’ve got to get you looking right. Just need to drape something effeminate round your shoulders." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Either of the Beaufort Twins should do." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Right, perfect. Now all you need to do is practise with Percy." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Practise what?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Attractive?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "You know, like the Earle of Doncaster." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Good lord! Well, er, fair enough." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No, you act normal! I’m the Earle of Doncaster!" } ]
