A scene from the throne room

The Argument Counter opens at nine, sells arguments at two dollars each or three for the same two dollars, and we are correct about the pricing. Sir Reginald will check my sums; he is wrong to, and the refund is a compliment.

The supplier itemises nothing; each argument is hand-forged and the third is a demonstration copy, hence its forty cents. If the Ledger prefers a worse item, we have the disputed sigh at one dollar, refundable in a compliment.
