Cheers, milord! Is Sir Jeffrey Richards, K.G. (Knight of the Greg), Lord President of the Privy Council, going to be impeached on the Dykish Plot? That's what I'd like to know. Of course we all know that the Friends parliament would never vote for such (though the Trading Association might have done -- and what does King Francis need parliament for when he has the Mongoose Emperor's pension?). Even if he is impeached, King Francis will secure his pardon. And if mention is made of such in the coffee house that is WoG, you can be sure the Captain-General, the Earl of Salisbury, will send in the troops.

The only hope of those seeking justice in this matter is that the Master-General of Ordnance (The Texan, obviously), otherwise an ally of Sir Jeffrey, has clashed with the Attorney-General on this issue, and may refuse to issue the soldiers their snaphances.

Stu (not entirely sure who he is in this paradigm).
