I'm worried! (The Doctor, after counting off who says what.) Take out the close-quote of the second of these paragraphs. Otherwise it goes all pear-shaped:
EVA: "Was he a prince?" She found she didn't feel silly; the questions were part of the ritual, after all.
ROSARIA: "He was the son of a royal family, but he was not the heir. That was his cousin, the Princess. That was all right with the boy. He didn't want to be King."
E R: "He told everyone that could hear that: 'I don't want to be King. I want to be a wizard, and live in a tower.' He told it to his aunties, who patted his head, and told him to wash the dishes, for in this land, everyone had to wash dishes."
R E: "In that land and in ours."
E R: "As in ours, yes. Even Princesses. He told his uncles, who clucked and scolded. 'Boys are not Wizards. There are no Wizards in this land.'
