Cool

My dear Prince, the story is very true. And it worked so well that by 1780 most of the aristocrats were speaking Danish among themselves. That is the main reson why they did not understood what what happening in the streets and in the countryside in 1789, and were exterminated within a few years.
This is why there is hardly any aristocrats left in France. the few that survived the Revolution emigrated to England.
You know what happenned next.
My sinceres condoleances to your check captain.
