Jordosaur94 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 "Yes, of course." replies the Duke, and he grabs a Quill pen out of an Inkpot, and signed his name on the bottom of the treaty. Once he was done, he promptly put the pen back into the pot, and waited for the Count's response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
