Re: To the "Red" Baron

M. le Baron,

Yes, yes, yes, yes yes; oh yes!  That is just as Lucy put it.  Finally, it seems your grasp of why Lucy dumped you for me must now be apparent, even to one as myopic as yourself.  Clearly you are full of hot air; perhaps this is why you lack an appointment, after all nobody cares for flatulence.  This is just as Lucy warned me how you would overreact to her rejecting you.

Would you care to explain, I quote, "...anyone can spin a tail or two to fool the establishment into giving them awards and honours." ?   Of course I am assuming you meant to say, "tale" and were not making a reference to the mulish "tail" of your own career.  Do you mean to say that His Majesty, in all his great wisdom and piety, who independently decided to elevate me to the title of Comte was somehow tricked?   If so, you have, without consideration, demeaned all nobility including yourself and your friends.

[OOC: From my actions:

ACdE will use a Rapier and be seconded by AdP.
CdC will use a Sabre and be seconded by LL and AdS.

So, I am assuming that AdM cannot be ACdE's second in this particular duel as arrangements have already been made.

Can anybody confirm my assumptions please?  ]
