The current Queen as you call her is German. And knowing what I do of my descendants from the seventeeth century onward, I have henceforth disowned them all. Denizens of the Holy Roman Empire have no place warming an English throne.
You may do with this Queen of yours as you like. But I am English, as you are. And if you wish to bend your knee, sir, would it be for more pleasant activities than severing my spine.
I expect honesty of my subjects, however. I would have it.
Does it not? They have mismanaged our nation horribly, and done a disservice to its people, and many far beyond their borders. I would not have any of my people liken me to them. Even yourself, sir.
If you would enjoy such activities, you need but say the word. I am fond of pleasant diversions. ( As was her father. )
There is a fine line between anarchy and tyranny, do you not think? Society necessitates structure to maintain its existence, else it will collapse. But on a personal level, you may be surprised to find that we are in agreement.
I obeyed my father's will because he was my King, and I adored him. I rebelled against my mother, and find myself glad more often that I should to be away from her meddling. Is that how you find the Doctor? Meddlesome.
( Really, she must wonder. Doctor Jekyll is by no means perfect, but he is far more a face of civility than this man she speaks with. )
I must wonder on that score, as you have quite the flare for dramatic word usage.

I have been entirely honest with you thus far. The doctor will confirm it when he returns, I'm sure. Have some patience.

How do you and the doctor coexist?

The only answer I will give is that we do. The matter is of no interest to me, besides which, he would be the better storyteller.
[Mostly because it will make Jekyll uncomfortable, and any chance for that is wonderful.]
