I found it quite amusing when you wrote.."Magnifique!" This is an excellent way to begin a story, It tells us the speaker is probably (though not necessarily) French." I like your defense. The fact is that Countess de Coude ejaculated that statement and within all probabilities she is Russian, but as you well know is married to a Frenchman. Edgar Rice Burroughs never actually says she is Russian, but her brother is Nikolas Rokoff which ERB does state is Russian.

I just love it when you point out things like "Anoroc" is Corona spelled backward and "Teivous" is Soviet spelled backward. I often point out ERB's trickery myself, and it is very important to watch out for this trickery when doing a Tarzan chronology.
