What it sounds like
The Queen has a reputation for being reasonable.
What it really means
“Eloise means the opposite: she thinks the Queen is unreasonable and unlikely to listen to an appeal.”
Said today
“Sure, because the Queen is famously easy to reason with.”
What was happening
Penelope suggests they ask the Queen to hear reason after Eloise reveals she is suspected of being Lady Whistledown. Eloise answers with sarcasm, mocking the idea that the Queen will respond reasonably.
