i used to think - how disloyal, and slovenly, and unjust of you. the great king loved you! but i understand, now, what it's like, to belong so totally with someone - your arthur and my sweetheart - and to want someone so much that it makes your whole body hurt - your lancelot and my agony. nine tenths of my heart is yours, but the other part is his through and through, and it's going to be this way, always. i may love you all i like but i cannot escape him.
