To my knowledge, no one was seriously injured on the pistes, although some may have awoken this morning still feeling the effects of the Melioria vino served. What vintage was that .... ?
T'was splendid ! Will have to seek out that barrel sometime
In the martial and grandiose decor of La Fortezzadi Melioria, it was a pleasure indeed to welcome old friends like the Conte di Loredan, and new ones like HRH Christiaan Clemens Meinrad , and Manuel Guerrero (aka Aldo Husar), the swordcutler, that you see fencing hereabove. Lady Candace, Lady Serenek Timeless, and the charming newcomer, Lady Isabella, completed the attendance at this moment, and cheered the contestants.
We later had the pleasure of a visitby many more, among whose we counted Professore' Aldo Stern, Mr Chow, andLadies whotook their part of the fencing , in the persons of Lady Elena, Contessa Foscari, and Lady Sophia, Contessa di Loredan(who did not seem to suffer anymore from the painful tooth- pullingby my friend Dr Panacek). Considering these Ladies, it is difficult to define what of their fencing skills or of their wit and charm is the dominant quality, among so many others talents.
We also had theunexpected visit of the Honorable Exrex Somme Esq., one of the most ancient- and therefore experienced and skilled-EnGarde fencers in SL, ever since this gamewas introduced. He is the famous author of a book " Last Second Attacks in En Garde", and the absolute authority on this tricky technical and tactical part of the game. His presence gave us the opportuniy to discover what a perfect gentleman he also was, doubled by a man of many historical and artistic interests and curiosities: hisduelwith Sir Mercury Gandt was a model of good manners in the art of fencing.
Finally, as this was not a tournament, but only a friendly gathering, it does not matter AT ALL who won and who lost: we were all winners, as we enjoyed the game and good company!
