'Good morning, lord!' said Giles, as cheerful as day, not waiting to be spoken to.

You didn't look hard enough, Estelyn. It's Farmer Giles to Augustus B. A. A. P. and M. rex et cetera on the bridge at Ham. The King has come to collect his 'rightful' tribute: the treasures of Chrysophylax, and to punish Giles for his recalcitrance and insubordination in not travelling straight to court after winning them. He is destined to be disappointed in both ambitions.
