The Minister of State looked at the Commissioner with an expression of profound disappointment - rather than the anger, contempt or hatred which might have been expected. "The letter for the Princess will not be necessary, Commissioner - my wife and myself have no secrets from each other and I will aquaint her fully with these events when I return to the Palais Royal shortly. Thank you for the advance warning of my impending arrest. Before you and your men leave, might I ask if you intend to have me incarcerated for the whole month of April, or just for the final week? (As you will no doubt be aware, the judicial machinery runs such that the trial itself will not be taking place until the very end of April)." > [OOC: The Commissioner of Public Safety arrests of Duc Alain deMylcondonai > on the charges of treasonous slander against the Crown [two counts], gross > negligence of his duties, embezzlement of the King's funds, and the murder > of Baron Noir leBlanc] [OOC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Rick Chadbourne/CAM/Lotus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 2:20 AM Subject: Rules for the CoPS > I have been meaning to get this out for a while but just haven't had > the chance.
