4But-but, say, Ardea, I can't go back and begin all over again.
5Say, Ardea; I'd just like to know how old you are, anyhow!
6Miss Ardea is like the king: she can do no wrong.

8In vain did Cibo, Pietrapertosa, Hafner, Ardea try to see him.
9When he needed supplies he went to Ardea for them himself.

16I should think Ardea would never want to see or hear of her again.
