class-continuity

...I was thinking how England is absolute fucking paradise of class-continuity. I mean, here we are, nine hundred years after William the Conqueror and his French-speaking, French-named Vikings came across and took England, and you show me a person with a froggish name, Perceval or Montague or Beaufort or whatever, and i will give you two-to-one that this person is MC or better. Old Money lasts, that is why everyone crawls to it. - a white merc with fins by James Hawes
