"Well, this is certainly one of the more interesting gifts I've received." We looked upon a dollhouse which bore a striking similarity to Morningstar.

"I don't like it," Jonathan said.

"You don't like anything," I answered.

"It's too private a gift, your majesty.  I don't like the message it sends.  Even that unicorn was a better choice."

I wouldn't agree aloud with the Captain, but there was something that rang true in his statement.

"What should I do with it?" I asked.

"Perhaps you could donate it?"

Askew breezed into the room and said, "I'll take it."

We both turned and I asked, "Why?" Askew opened his mouth and I said quickly, "Absolutely not!"

"But, your majesty..."

"I don't know how many times I have to tell you.  There will be no museum dedicated to me."

"The future generations of Britons will want one."

"They will not."
