Now once again, Mr. Thomas Highland. The English king who was on the throne in 1722 was remarkable in that he could speak no English.

Not that he was an idiot. He was a German man. He could speak German very well. As a matter of fact, he brought two young and ravishing ladies from Germany with him, so that he could have someone to talk with, lonely monarch that he was.

His name was George Louis, and his reign was Stormy, with that trouble with the Jacobites. This unpleasantness you will recall, though I was settled by the Duke of Argyle, a soldier and dandy, husband who am the knitter.

And into these times, strode John Shepherd. Well, he didn't stride exactly, he usually sneaked in through the back window, and so is the rob. And one night in April, he got caught. Like the pay from the candlestick, Nurya, and we'll see who we have here.
