Lancelot thinks back to their first meeting, and how he very quickly felt comfortable with her, felt he understood something of her. (He has been trying not to look closely at this; his interest in Susan has nothing to do with her past as a ruler, or even really with her sometimes queenly bearing, but he is aware that that is a something she holds in common with Guinever and he'd rather not think on it too much.)

"Yes," he says, "I think so. Thou know'st thyself, even before those memories returned. That I have seen, at times, in other queens."
