[Namron] Heraldry, In Lucas' Defense

[Daniel (Linus) Garbelman]

Unto the Populace of the Barony of Namron,

In Lucas’ Defense:

If I may be so bold as to make some poor generalizations and play on some
weak stereotypes.

Even though he is court a herald with responsibilities for knowing such
things; even though he may someday trample mine own name like a Scott in a
flower patch, I cannot find fault with Lucas’ mispronunciation of the French
names. Being able to perform the French accent and vernacularies almost
nearly requires a period of time in one’s life of at least minor moral
digress.

You see my friends, being French is like being blonde. It’s not necessarily
that we have more fun, it’s just that people’s expectations of us are less.
That gives us more spare time to kill.  May I take our Crown Prince as an
example?* I watched his final bout at crown tourney and I assure you that
his opponent did not expect the killing blows that Jean-Paul delivered. (Oh,
that was too easy).

Lucas, as far as I have ever been able to tell, is and has always been a
person of outstanding moral qualities. This will make it difficult for him
to acquire the skills of French annunciation. Myself, having been accused of
lackadaisical morals, AND being French, have no problem with this. I will
gladly commit myself to assist Lucas and any others with French
pronunciation and assibilations should it so be desired.

Viva le Roi et la Reine!
Vive le Prince et la Princess!

Lord Linus,
Titled Bard of My Shower
Possible Future Herald
Lover of Things French


*This is in absolutely no way attempts to make any judgment, ascertains, or
observations about our prince’s moral standing which I can only assume to be
nothing less than outstanding, probably even awesome.
