She didn’t recognize the duke from some photograph in a history book. She knew far too much about him. She knew everything. Like how the royal ladies-in-waiting swapped bawdy jokes about the sad size of the duke’s scepter.
What does sad size mean here?
@engineer,
There's also a double entendre intended here -- the "scepter" is referring to his penis. Hence the "bawdy"-ness of their jokes.
