I sent my majordomo to your amanuensis [00:00:26]
To ascertain your feelings, and strip away pretenses [00:00:33]
And then a few days later, you sent back your vizier [00:00:40]
And though he spoke quite courtesously [00:00:46]
His meaning wasn't clear [00:00:49]
Not to my majordomo [00:00:53]
Not to my majordomo [00:00:59]
So I sent my acolyte to further our relations [00:01:07]
And he engaged your ministers in lengthy conversations [00:01:14]
One or two were willingto discuss the matter frankly [00:01:20]
We then received your advocate [00:01:26]
Who told me that you thanked me [00:01:29]
Also my majordomo [00:01:33]
Also my majordomo [00:01:39]
I therefore told my counselor to offer my best wishes [00:01:46]
And he was greeted cordially with smiles and festive dishes [00:01:53]
I further was encouraged by a note in your handwriting [00:01:59]
Delivered by your confidant, it seemed you were inviting [00:02:06]
My plenipotentiary with great felicitations [00:02:15]
To join your chief of protocol in swift negotiations [00:02:21]
But something must have happened [00:02:28]
A secret door had closed then [00:02:31]
The word from my ambassador was you were indisposed [00:02:35]
And could not meet my majordomo [00:02:40]
There's nothing I can do now [00:02:48]
I sent my majordomo [00:02:54]
I sent my majordomo [00:03:01]
