In this excerpt from The Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett, Lymond skeptically questions whether someone will do something, asking, "Will he?" and then similarly inquires if Marigold will. The conversation hints at a sense of anticipation and curiosity about a person's actions or decisions.
The dialogue reveals a playful yet mischievous tone, with a youthful character confronting a restless one.
