Oh ah, I beg your pardon. I hope everyone is safe after the storm.

At lunch today, everyone kept asking me what I was going to be for Halloween and if Mr. Stark gave full-sized candy bars.

I told them I would be me and they laughed.

What do they mean then? I don't feel like I can really ask them what does "what will I be for Halloween?" mean. And what is a "full-sized candy bar" and why should Mr. Stark be giving them to anyone?

Oh, there were, sir! A good many King George's on the thrones. At least four before Queen Victoria.

[learningtolove]

That must be it then. Though I am uncertain which number is on the throne of England right now.

[Someone get this chimera a history book stat.]

[madcuriosity]

Queen Victoria is on the throne! [Well, for Alice, she is.]

[learningtolove]

Well, that settles it then.

[He's so very woefully ignorant but at least he tries.]

[madcuriosity]

Who is the King of France for you, sir?

[learningtolove]

Louis. Though I can never remember which one.

[In Beast's defense, they were on number fifteen by the time he was a child.]

[madcuriosity]

I do believe there were a lot of them, that's true.

[learningtolove]

Over a dozen at the last count.

[madcuriosity]

My goodness! [She giggles.]

Who knew it was such a popular name!

[learningtolove]

Perhaps they want the next one to do as well as the previous one.

[madcuriosity]

Did they do very well? I know very little of French kings and queens.

[learningtolove]

No better or worse than most monarchs I would imagine. I never was at court much.

[madcuriosity]

You have not met the King and Queen of Hearts to say that, I am sure they are much better than them, to say the least.

[learningtolove]

I have not heard of a King and Queen of Hearts before. Where do they live?

[madcuriosity]

In Wonderland, Mr. Beast. The White Queen and King and Red Queen and King are in the Looking Glass.

[learningtolove]

I have never heard of such places before. How do you get to them?

[madcuriosity]

Well, Wonderland is beneath England, you need only fall down a rabbit hole for that. And the Looking Glass, well I get to it by going through the mirror above my mantle place, I suppose any mirror would do, though.

[learningtolove]

It sounds fascinating.

[He wasn't quite sure if the girl was serious or if this was just the fanciful nature of a young child's imagination, but it was amusing to listen to nonetheless.]

[madcuriosity]

They are very curious places! I should like everyone to visit them to see just how curious they are.

[learningtolove]

I would like to do so. Until I came here, I so rarely went anywhere. I just stayed in my castle.
