Nay!  Nay!  I say nay!  I can see the Good Duke quite comfortably ensconced
in a palanquin... nothing to fancy just a comfy tote about as it were.
Palanquin rental limos... darn good idea.  Get some young stalwarts with
excess energy to burn and offer cabin/tent to hall service.  Limos for the
land fund... that's the ticket!
