I agree here!  I thought I had a dream until I met their majesties for the
first time.  They both (especially Queen Niobe) have become an embodiment of
my personal dream.  Her majesty's words move me to write, to song, and to
tears.  That is an accomplishment!

I would love to know who the gentle was who was circulating the audience
with pitchers of cold water.  I refused to miss anything of court, but I
(and many others) would not have made it through court without his simple
kindness.

I've already said my vivats to Duke Cuan.  His words and her majesty's in
return were bested in my memory of the day only by Queen Niobe's words at
her second court after feast.  People as these make me realize what the SCA
can really be.
