While the celebration of the Spanish Holiday went on, another less festive but no less colorful presence made its way through the streets of the capital, in the form of a five man detachment of hussars from the Garde du Corps Prinzessin Gertrude.

Meanwhile, the Grand Duke is somewhere in Krankenstadt palace, where he and his closest advisors are tugging frantically at the stuck zipper in the side of the Grand Duke's state lobster costume!
Meanwhile, outside the palace, a little boy on a hobbyhorse gallops about the remaining four hussars, waving a stick around and shouting "Charge!"
