Yes, We are leaving for Our Irish Realm on the 9th day of next month, and We shall return on the 8th day of the merry month of May. We must have our private study made tidy after that, Our tomes reshelved, the arms and armour shined and lubricated, and prepare for grouse season in Autumn (We must admit that We don't go afield to take game anymore).

BUT We must also prepare for another voyage in Autumn, this on to Our town of Nome and a sea journey from thence to Vancouver in Our Realm of Canada.

We shall still be performing business of Our Realm during these journeys, and expect that all of Our subjects shall be likewise engaged.
