Time: The Golden Age, just before "Horse and His Boy." Place: Tashbaan
Rabadash: Ah Rishta, I am going to send you on a diplomatic mission to Narnia. I wish to marry Queen Susan and you will take my initial salutations and gifts to her.
Rishta: Oh my beloved and sagacious prince, I don't think that is a good idea.
Rabadash: And why not? After all, you are famous for being able to speak in their blunt, uncomplicated Northern fashion.
Rishta: Er...well a few years ago I accidentally insulted King Edmund. Badly.
Rabadash: Insulted King Edmund? How? About what?
Rishta: Er..over a lady.
Rabadash: What lady?
Rishta: Morgan of Linch.
Rabadash: Morgan of Linch! I want to marry Queen Susan and you insulted her royal brother about his wife!!!
Rishta. (Wailing) He wasn't married to her at the time! And it was unintentional!
Rabadash: Assorted grisly threats and much enraged shrieking.
