Some of you have been mentioning all the nicknames the Captain gives Harlequin. (He has never met Harlequin and doesn't know his real name)
The "Diamond Prince" is perhaps the best one, and also perhaps the one that is hardest to understand. Especially for me who doesn't speak English as a fisrt language and can only think of diamonds as a gem!

Here we have a little hint to the story behind their masks. It's not really important, but it gives a little depth to the characters.
It hints that they have known eachother for quite some time, that the Doctor does odd experiments on his spare time and why he nowadays does what the Captains says, even in matters like these.

Next update (Monday): back to our heroes and the masquerade ball…
