A Neat Lttle Insult

Can we all just appreciate the whole "Lord Mayor" bit the Jovial Contrarian pulled? On the surface, it looks like one last gag from a mayor-ship filled with them. But when you think about it, it really is a clever way of insulting her. Not in a sexist way, but by giving the fiercely republican devil an aristocratic title. Love it. What do you guys think?

Emphasises Mrs P's point about Virginia the nominal revolutionary having the heart of an aristocrat. Which is further reinforced by Virginia's retort being threatening to hunt the Contrarian down like an animal - a taste of what's to come in her term, I imagine.

I wouldn't expect anything less from the Contrarian in his last moment. That is why I adore him so much and would vote twice for him if I could. With one clever word he made a bigger impact than Feducci's dynamite two years ago.

Came looking for Correspondence and found gold in the Nadir.
Hard to piece together all the missing pieces in those faded mysteries, but enough darkdrop coffee should offer more than enough late hours. Good against Fingerkings too.

Truly a masterpiece from the master of verbal combat. And I say that as someone who voted against him, twice, and voted for Virginia. Even if he's not technically winning, he's making your victory taste sour.

Lord Mayor? Lord? Is that a calculated insult do you think? Perhaps I should ask him to join me in the Forgotten Quarter some time.
The threat was not explicit, but I feel justified in my reading.
