I don't remember if it was Andrea herself or someone else who told me 
the tale.  Evidently, Their Majesties staged a mock argument just before 
she was sent on vigil.

"We're giving her a Pelican."
"No, Dear -- we're giving her a Laurel."
"A Pelican."
"A Laure.!"
"Pelican!"
"Laurel!"
"Well, we'll just have to give her both."

Or something like that.  I wish I'd been there to see it.

Now that I think of it, it was Master Ian, the Viceroy, who told me the 
tale.  He was rather gleeful about it.
