Re: German grammar lesson time

Ahhh, there you go! Baroque German tripping me up again. Thank you, I will make a mental note of that for future Baroque German passages (of which there are no doubt many in my future).

Modern German would say "seine Majestät" if F1 is the one laughing/getting the present, and "ihre Majestät" if it's SC

I am pleased both that my instincts were at least correct for modern German, and that I'm receiving lessons in Baroque German. Salon is so educational!
