All these nobles need some entertainment, right? Then, His Majesty offers them naval war-games, occasionally. Today, a battle between three French and two British ships takes place: high-ranking aristocrats are carried here on sedan chairs by their valets, to cheer and support their heroes with other blueblood folk, guards, clergy and mere normal people. Let them enjoy this moment: the pond of the Parterre d’Eau is the only place where they will be able to beat the Brits, it seems! Other folks nearby work, in the meantime: flexible foam mattresses are produced at high speed, with a compact, revolving block-foam maker. They will be cut with an ingenious hand-driven horizontal saw and delivered to the crowded bedrooms of the Chateau: lodging for the Court is not the premium feature of the vast building, we have been told! They sleep (and do many other things!) where they can, also in corridors and closets! What a tough life, being a member of the Royal Court: hunting for a salary and a pension, many nobles try to find a job acting as supervisors. They control the work of less fortunate folk, interfering with their work and distributing unwanted and incompetent suggestions: if this becomes a common practice we’ll have a tough time, in the years to come! Well, folks, that is it, for this year: Le Roi Soleil wishes you his most graceful Adieu! Who knows where we’ll meet next year?! This Old World is so crowded!
