Yes, hello. Archduke Ferdinand Maria here. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a proud sponsor of this blog, despite some misgivings. Last night the Forty Third Earl of Watership Down rang to say that he hated the new blog and this nanny business. What of literature? he asked. Graf Ersnt von Hohenzollern reported some “big chuckles” so we remain sanguine for the moment.
Visit the Grand Duchy! Observe our remarkable Roman aqueducts. We have fried egg pizza and fries with mayonaisse. Best of all, no French people will mock your colorful clothing, sudden changes of direction, or loudness in confined spaces. We don’t mind! Thanking you so very much. ADFM ( dictated but not read. signed but not sealed.) Adieu.
