While this is all true, I think what was unnerving (if I may speak for
Lady Pamela, sorry about that) was having such an imbalance; one likely
expects, you know, more students per se than otherwise.

On the other hand, I was the one actual student she mentioned, and frankly,
I enjoyed the class a lot; there was no struggle for who was teaching the
class (nor did Lady Pamela claim there was, of course) and viewpoints were
heard and I was highly, highly edified.  Huzzah for Pamela the Harper being
able to cope with the influx of, as it was just put, advanced people, and
huzzah for His Excellency Aethelstan, Lord Darius, and Master Ulf for
demonstrating so aptly that you can do exactly as Pug suggests without
"sniping".
