Well, there was an astounding lack of royalty at Schutzenfest. One 
countess and one viscountess, and that was it (because the two viscounts 
on-site had either left or weren't at feast). I know that it had been 
figured out who was going to give the toasts, except for figuring out who 
was the ranking non-royal peer, but nobody had actually been asked yet. I 
did ask if they wanted me to do the asking, and they said sure. So TE 
Nordskogen did know what was going on. Had the response to my question 
been "It's taken care of" or something like that, I wouldn't have worried 
about it.
