On the invention of books:
Sycophant: Your latest drama has arrived, sire.
Aristocrat: Excellent. My, that's quite a stack of folio.
Sycophant: Quite.
Aristrocrat: Tell me, Jervais, is there a gentleman on staff that would hold the pages before me as I read?
Sycophant: Indubitably.
Later:
Aristocrat: Next page....
And after that:
Aristocrat: Next page....
And after that:
Aristocrat: Next page...
Prole: You know sir, it might be easier if you bound these pages in a sturdy substance such as leather or wood. That would serve to protect the pages from handling, and make the act of reading alone a practical reality.
Aristocrat: Jervais, remove this man at once!
