Quills

:23:02

We treat you well enough here,
don't we, Marquis ?

:23:06

Your very own feathered bed
in lieu of a straw mat.

:23:09

Your antique writing desk,
all the way from La Coste.

:23:12

Enough quills
to feather an ostrich-

:23:14

Yes, yes, yes, dear heart, it's true.
You spoil me pink.

:23:17

And in exchange, we ask only
that you follow the rules.

:23:21

You know as well as I do,
you're not to entertain visitors
in your quarters.

:23:24

I'm entertaining you now,
aren't I ?

:23:26

Yes, but I'm not a beautiful,
young prospect ripe for corruption.

:23:30

Don't be so sure.

:23:38

Take your pen in hand,
Marquis.

:23:42

Purge these wicked thoughts
of yours on paper.

:23:45

Maybe they'll
govern you less in life.

:23:48

I'll fill page after page,
my cherub.

:23:52

I promise.

:24:09

We're here, Doctor.
Mind your step, sir.

:24:15

Good day, sir.
We've been expecting you.
