In my Corgi paperback edition of 1997 it is not a footnote, but a parenthetical remark on page 116, at the location indicated by luis_mw.
(That was a cinematic trick adapted for print. Death wasn't talking to the princess. He was actually in his study, talking to Mort. But was was quite effective, wasn't it? It's probably called a fast dissolve, or a crosscut/zoom. Or something. An industry where a senior technician is called a Best Boy might call it anything.)
