Better and better... Tashmere Send a noteboard - 02/09/2009 11:04:26 PM
I believe they use it as a text at Sandhurst (one of the posh military officer training schools in Britain) because her details of the battle of Waterloo are so precise and she shows you all of the strategy behind it.

Ooohhhhh.....
