[MR] apologies to Heralds

[Nicole E. Miller]

Most definitely.  I always feel bed enough when I mangle someone's' name.  But I really hate to ruin "their  moment" by bungling the text because I am unfamiliar with the font.  Plus its wonderful to be able to show off those gorgeous scrolls while reading them.  I have a couple of my own that I have no idea who did the illumination or the calligraphy (as they are often different people).

As a herald, my favorites have had the entire text of the scroll, in plain
text, on a separate piece of paper [with name(s) of the scribe(s)] attached
to the back of the scroll, so that I could read off the content and give
proper credit while holding up the scroll for the assembled populace to OOOH
and AAHH at.
