commodore 

One of a select few who succesfully navigate the social and sea waters of East Island and Palm Beach, with style and brio.
The commodore laughed at the story of the elephant and the alligator, all the while piloting his vessel with his right hand, with his left hand holding the arm of the countess.

A fine Italian stallion, this horse prefers the countryside, where he is often seen with the Viscount, Viceroy or Countess. A lovely animal.
In the glen, I could see Antonio, accompanied by The Viscount. What a dashing pair they make!

Michelangelo 

A noble animal, this horse accompanies the Viscount when he is in cities.
Look! There rides the Viscount, astride Michelangelo. Huzzah!

Viscount 

Haughty and snobbish, the well dressed Viscount looms above mere mortals who supp and dine, and disdains desserts and after-dinner drinks because society calls. Word of his presence in the neighborhood is reason alone to leave directly after dinner, and to get on with the business at hand.
The party cancelled their order for coffee and cake and called for hats and coats, once rumor became fact and it was confirmed that the Viscount was on the prowl.

A faithful elephant, descended from that line of pachyderms usefully employed by Hannibal in the Second Punic War. In modern times, Sabi sometimes followed Viscounts and Viceroys on their appointed tasks.
Sabi came suddenly upon the unfortunate, tusks flared and trunk unfurled.

The viceroy is well known personality, who visits restaurants and bars, in order to be seen, rather than to see. His presence or absence is often used as a reason by others why the check or bill of fare is not to be paid, or to defer dessert. He haunts establishments by his formidable reputation, and his word is law.
I would love to have the apple pie, but I have to meet the Viceroy, don't you know?
