I scarcely wish to acknowledge the scandalous material in circulation about my grandson Maximilian.

Ah. Such rumors, of course, are only but rumors. Worry not, Cecil. ;)

I wonder. Was that the final straw for Cecil? I must say, he must have been terribly patient to just speak out now. Pretenders assuming his identity have proliferated the so-called 'multiverse' for quite some time, after all.

Cheers!
