 <said>Our minstrel here will warm the old man's heart with song, dazzle him with jewels and
   gold</said>, a troublemaker simpered. <said>He'll trample on the Duke's camellias, spill
   his wine, and blunt his sword, and say his name begins with X, and in the end the Duke
   will say, <said>Take Saralinda, with my blessing, O lordly Prince of Rags and Tags, O
     rider of the sun!</said>
 </said>

   Not a bad mind either. there's talent, oh my goodness, yes — and a nice thirst to prove
   yourself, now that's interesting. … So where shall I put you?</said>
