Word / cautiously
Definition / being careful about what you say or do, especially to avoid danger or mistakes;

She was jolly nice to me, anyway, much nicer than they are.

Definition / 1. happy and cheerful 2. (old-fashioned) enjoyable
Example / a jolly evening / party / time

I expect she is the rightful Queen really. Anyway, she'll be better than that awful Aslan!
