Bet you didn't see that coming!
Finally I've found an useful application for that multicoloured pencil I found in the mess on my desk.

ed.: I've just realised that that bleeding duck apparently had another hiccup, but it seems to be fixed now. Sorry for the delay.

Do you know the guy in the 18th century attire? It's Baron Adolph Franz Friedrich Ludwig Knigge, who is best known for writing the one guide of etiquette that defines good table manners in quite a lot of Western countries to this day. I don't know why he's appearing in Gundula's dream - probably she knew him personally - but I reckon he'd have reacted in exactly the same manner. He's buried in Bremen by the way. He also made up one of my favourite quotes: "Respect yourself if you want others to respect you."
