Now is Con going to break down with the stress of it all and come around to find Freddie's arms encircling her, and bury her head on his shoulder and weep?!? |

Con certainly is right - the Soviets would come to the aid of the Belsornian Communists within seconds, and then they'd crush the rebellion easily, even if it is only Khrushchev! Look at Hungary, Freddie, look at Hungary! Have we got to 1968 yet? If so, look at Czechoslovakia as well!

It's the summer of 1968 at the moment. Don't worry, Freddie's contacts have told him about the planned invasion of Czechoslovakia - that's why he got stressed out when he saw that Con was reading a book about Prague. He promises that he will explain that shortly! & I really hate myself for being a picky cow here, but Khrushchev resigned in 1964 so the Soviet leader is now Brezhnev. Feel free to chuck something at me for saying that!! * Ducks!* |

Hope no-one minds the slight foray into Eastern European politics - I will get back to Con and Freddie's romantic problems soon, honestly! |

If the Coup is successful and Freddie asks Con to marry him then will she become Queen Con? |

I think she would have to call herself Queen Constance because it sounds more regal, but, yes, she would be the Queen. |
