Persuasion

Volume 1
Act IV, Scene III, continued

Lifts-Her-Tail


 * Certainly not, kind sir! I am here but to clean your chambers.

Crantius Colto


 * Is that all you have come here for, little one? My chambers?

Lifts-Her-Tail


 * I have no idea what it is you imply, master. I am but a poor Argonian maid.

Crantius Colto


 * So you are, my dumpling. And a good one at that. Such strong legs and shapely tail.

Lifts-Her-Tail


 * You embarrass me, sir!

Crantius Colto


 * Fear not. You are safe here with me.

Lifts-Her-Tail


 * I must finish my cleaning, sir. The mistress will have my head if I do not!

Crantius Colto


 * Cleaning, eh? I have something for you. Here, polish my spear.

Lifts-Her-Tail


 * But it is huge! It could take me all night!

Crantius Colto


 * Plenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time.
