Their band is superb."<BR/><BR/>"Yes, but the Monrovians sabotaged them; started a fight in which both bands were disqualified. Actually, I've had reports that a certain Stagonian hussar egged the Monrovians on (not that they needed much urging)."<BR/><BR/>"Well, we shall have to see that Herr Hofmeister is properly rewarded. He has done wonders with those musicians."<BR/><BR/>"Oh, and the vile Stagonians finished last, my Prince. They sounded worse than you can imagine. They featured accordians, bagpipes, tubas and a harpsichord . . . none of which were in tune and all of which were playing different songs at the same time. It was truly VILE!"Bluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-55422011393552108292007-09-29T02:55:00.000-07:002007-09-29T02:55:00.000-07:00"Baron, this is vile.

It seems that two of the judges were deaf and the other three had been bribed with that Saxe-Bearstein swill they call lager . . . In addition, the commotion in the stands was undoubtably caused by the Tipplebruders, who are known to be in the pay of Furst Bruno."<BR/><BR/>"See that you spread the appropriate rumors. I want this vile award to be debased. Be sure that everyone knows that the contest was 'rigged'.<BR/><BR/>"Of course, Your Majesty."<BR/><BR/>"And I despise lobsters. Didn't the lead-eating dogs do any damage in Stollen?"<BR/><BR/>"Not that we are aware of, Sire. But there is still time for that plot to mature. As that idiot spreads the pups about his Grand Duchy, we may still see some results."<BR/><BR/>"What about Noverre? And the rest? Can't we do something to besmirch their bands?<BR/><BR/>"We're exploring possibilities. Give me a few days and we'll think of something."<BR/><BR/>"See that you do, Baron.
