Thank you for the compliment! I just want to give you a little detail for the sequel to "Whipping boy": when a prince becomes a king, he is called "your majesty", not "your highness". It is the distinctive mark of the sovereignty. I know, I am just a pompeous jerk. But I teach History, so... Have fun with your stories! cmarie972
With my classes, I cover the period from 1850 to our days. But it is peculiar to the training colleges, where I work. Personnally, I prefer before this period. For me, when witnesses are still involved, when there is no real hindsight, it is not really History, but tropicality. I have to say that I am french, so the school programms (I hope the expression is comprehensible for you) must be different from yours. P.S: Do not hesitate to correct my grammatical mistakes, I still have to learn.

You're not a pompous jerk, LOL! I'll definitely remember that one for the story. :)

Ooh! I love history, I was very tempted to specialise in history on my course rather than literature. Do you have a particular time period you cover?
