[Jonna Bernstein/Rosalind Jehanne]

Dear cousins - I would like to thanks and acknowledge all the wonderful 
gentles that helped make Mistress Ysolt la Bretonne's elevation to the 
Peerage the celebration it was!! M. Simone, M. Nikulai for advice and 
assistance, our 4 worthies -Sir Rodrigo Falcone, M. Thjora, M. Isabel 
for their wonderful speeches that brought tears to my eyes, M. Danr and 
M. Isabel for coordination, M.Karen Larsdatter for the vigil book, M. 
Valdemar for the Pavilion of Many Vigils. Thank yous to Duchess Arielle 
for her kind words as Companion of the Rose, and M. Simone for bringing 
them to us. To my house guests, M. Derbhila, Ld. Tom and Ldy. Jocetta 
for visiting and being put to work, and to Jocetta for making sure the 
mouse looked like neither a rat nor Mickey :-)  Also to Lady Siobhan for 
her lovely scroll, and Lady Beatrice and M. Idonea for food, and Lady 
Bryn for last minute help. To M.Efenwealt, M. Aenor, and Ld. Olivier for 
their composition and performance.  To Their Majesties Janos and Rachael 
for delightful deviousness- You looked quite pleased with Yourselves 
:-)  But especial thanks need to be given in several quarters. Firstly, 
to the entire Rapier community, who when the field did not allow them to 
have their tourney, volunteered en masse for guard duty for the vigil - 
a more honorable, cheerful, and noble company cannot be found anywhere - 
Con O'Quyrke, Thorgimr inn Kyrri, Armando Ramirez, Sane a a Selle, 
Geoffrey ap Clywd, Thomas Haupmann, Daniel of Cuddlain Downs, Ludwig von 
Osterreich, Constanza de Talan(?), Philip Allosan, Rosalind Delamere, 
and Tiernen Fenr - you have my undying thanks. Secondly to the Royal 
Cabin and all those who helped move everything up the slippery slope to 
dry quarters- you were much appreciated by all. Thirdly to Lady 
Siobhan's newly adopted daughter Cat James, who moved to Windmasters on 
Sunday and by Friday was slaving in my kitchen creating the lovely 
hospitality table complete with marvelous mischevous marzipan mice - we 
look forward to your presence in the future and will commend you to the 
cooks of the Kingdom. And finally, to Maestra Francesca la Curiosa -for 
being M. Ysolt's true friend and companion, and an exemplar of courtesy 
and service to us all. And to Lady Geva, who would have been delighted, 
especially with the Pelican Hat :-)... In service to you all, Mistress 
Rosalind Jehanne
