Description[?]:
| His Grace is of the opinion that there are far too many rowdy, badly-behaved, awful-mannered children running about the streets these days. They need a good dose of discipline at school, daily prayers and patriotic anthem-singing in order to turn them into better citizens. Aldegar's future depends on this! Percy Waterman (Personal Secretary to the Grand Duke of Hikirena) |
