"Madame Mona is a true lady, Sir. She is used to three proper meals a day and more food whenever she wants it. She is not like me, Sir. I can go for days and days without food, until I can see the monsters and the houses waver and - oh, I run, Sir. From the monsters that try to eat me then. But I know it is silly; it is just in my head. But Madame does not know - she should not know - and she needs food. Will you make me go mad for her? Please, Sir? Please, the food. I can make it worth your while. I... I will kiss you if you give it me. That is a good bargain, Sir. Come, give me the food."
