The Hibernian Daredevil

While our queen sulks over the absence of Prince The Other White Meat and drowns her ill-temper in the arms of Prince The Real Megillah, another prince has come along to seek her hand.

Prince Hibernian Daredevil hails, like our sovereign, from the true soil of Aes Sidhe.  This makes him a suitable candidate for our queen as common ancestry can make for effortless company.  Prince HD came upon the court quite suddenly, as if the Powers That Be dropped him from the sky (literally! He is a daredevil after all) to… if not replace… then to distract the Royal Personage from her melancholia. He is clever and quick-witted like the others whose company she admires, but unlike the other princes of the realm he possesses in his writings an easy grace. Our queen knows not if this will translate into arrogance upon a First of Dates, but for the moment, at least, it has captivated her enough to gain her singular attention in the matter. Clearly he must have done something correctly if he is being mentioned here in the Honor Roll! He seems gentlemanly enough: well-spoken, educated, exceedingly well-traveled (this is not an exaggeration, Dear Readers, for how many persons in your acquaintance can admit to setting foot on all 7 continents with photos to prove it?!?), and funny. His mode of employ deals with calculations and figures, which we assume will prove to be beyond her ken. This is also potentially intriguing, as our queen enjoys being a pupil as much as a professor most days, and learning something new for her is like a cool breeze across a perspired brow.

There are rumors that our Lovely One and this new potentate will meet within VII days’ time. We shall keep you all apprised of her progress…
