Hello, All!


In a novel "A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA" about Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, I've read this:

=========Beginning of the citation==============
    "On  the  contrary,  my  dear  sir," cried the King; "nothing could be
more  successful. I know that her word is inviolate. The photograph is now
as safe as if it were in the fire."
    "I am glad to hear your Majesty say so."
    "I  am  immensely  indebted  to  you.  Pray  tell me in what way I can
reward  you.  This ring-" He slipped an emerald snake ring from his finger
and held it out upon the palm of his hand.
    "Your  Majesty  has  something which I should value even more highly,"
said Holmes.

=========The end of the citation================


It seems something strange:

1. I am glad to hear your Majesty _say_ so. (I'd write "says or said"

I can suppose that "your Majesty" is plural, but look:

2. Your  Majesty  _has_  something...

It means that in the first sentence it must be "says"?

Bye All!
