Mesdames et Messieurs,

We are living in times of somewhat uncertain communication - and need I add in parentheses that the trustworthiness of one's household staff is often equally questionable. Therefore I felt the need to take a bold step and announce the following engagement, my first in my rather bijoux new home, the Chteau de Coligny.

This is a Bal Masque, mes amis, so please don your Dominoes, Voltos and Columbines and leave your cares at the gate!

Rest assured the company is selected not for the splendour of their titles but purely for the incandescence of their wit and conversation. If there are any questions, or if your coachmen require further direction, please contact me forthwith. I'll be at the head of my estate at two sharp with a cheeky beaujolais.

With greatest affection & c.
