How to Tell if You Are in a High Fantasy Novel (from The Toast)

Excerpts below from a recent post on The Toast entitled How To Tell if You Are in a High Fantasy Novel.
The Elders would like a word with you.
Something that has not happened in a thousand years is happening.
Certain members of the Council are displeased with your family’s recent actions.
A bard is providing occasional comic relief; no one hired or invited him and his method of earning a living is unclear.
The High Priest is not to be trusted.
Someone is eating an apple mockingly.
It is the first page, and you are already late for something. Your mother affectionately chides you as you gulp down a few spoonfuls of porridge; she will be dead by page forty-two.
The real trouble began the day you arrived at court. Every last nobleman hides a viper in his smile. How you long for the purity of life in your village, which is currently on fire or something.
