Finn got a beak! Finn got a beak! Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

(Of course, peerages are all well and good, but nothing beats a Court Barony (which Finn also has, I might mention). Court Baronies give you all the entitlements -- a hat, a prefix and an adjective, plus a place in the Order of Precedence that only a crack Research Herald can recall off the top of his head -- without the one thing that makes peerages really undesirable: the meetings.

That said, sometimes the royals just have to give people a peerage because to do otherwise would show that they're Just Not Paying Attention. In Finn's case, this is clearly the primary reason. I mean, duh! Finn = Pelican! How could they have missed that? She's like the ISO Standard Hard-Working Member Of The Barony! Come on! Imagine how embarrassing it would be to be a king or queen and not give Finn a Pelican! Really! What do they do with their time???

So a great wrong has been righted, a peerage has been conveyed, and we can all say "What? Didn't she have one of those?" And also: "Congratulations Finn!"

And Persi is now the only non-peer in the household.

For the moment...)
