Merciful heavens, isn't this just like the old days! My dear cousin Tsar Doug sparring with my fellow Grand Duchess Anna (
and lady-in-waiting
and spy . . . dear Anna wears many kokoshniks) and everyone having just a jolly old time. We are missing Pravoslavnaya and the budgies, and several of our other courtiers are on hiatus, but sometimes all it takes is Tsar Doug, Spy Anna and moi to have the coziest party imaginable!
But T.D., I really must beg to differ . . . Isa and I never did share a resemblance; as a GD/GP I am really more chi-chi than that. Plus you know that unlike Isa, I would never act in a nefarious manner, right my dear T.D.?

Now, as to the tin soldiers, I really am so sorry they are not behaving according to your commands, but if you click your booted heels together three times, then sing the chorus of "If I Only Had A Heart," I think you'll find that Oz never did give the Tin Man what he didn't already have.
As I quaff yet another glass of champagne, I remain--
The GD/GP Janet
