'All right. I'll ask you if you don't.'
The protagonist is one of royal family members of Amber.
He just now made a date with a daughter of the prime minister from a neighboring country Begma.
And he is now going out with her, showing her the town.
"You planning on a diplomatic career?"
"No. You're talking to the wrong sister."
"A wealthy husband?"
"Probably stodgy and boring."
"What, then?"
"Maybe I'll tell you later."
"All right. I'll ask you if you don't."
["Sign of Chaos" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny]
