It'll be easier to remember to call your fellow peasants "Goodmen", while calling people like me "Your Grace".

Or perhaps addressing people down beneath your station as a "thrall".


The word "thrall" certainly does invoke a jarring atavistic pleasure when used...

There are people on here who can argue for capitalism extremely well. Take notes from then.

I am so glad you agree.

I think I can get you set up on a hereditary farm quite soon. Now, you wouldn't be able to leave but there'd be definite financial security. Now, I was thinking this whole nonsense about the outback being unliveable is a load of hooey, and you'll be my test trial. Of course, to pay be back, I'll require a quart of whatever you produce, and and ten percent will go to the Church, but I think you'll do fine on 65%.

Now, there's also the matter of levies. You and any sons you produce will be signed up to fight any battle for me I so choose to partake in.
