But, you Grace, your lady wife being a Frank does not know the meaning
of the '0' that you use (as neither do I, but then the farthest south
I've been has been to Toulouse, though someday I would like to go to
Compestella). How then does the equation work?
I must say I heartily agree that one wife is plenty for a man. Of
course, I suspect that many men would say if the woman is a Frank, one
is more than enough!
