The mysterious (and VERY tall!) Lady Maxime is the SECOND lady to claim Per as her Champion! Frankly, WE think the Evidence is on her side, though Maxime laughs, "I don't mind sharing him weez hees girlfriend! Especially seence she ees French, like me - Genereuse, n'est-ce pas?"

"Ah was vairee flattered when 'e asked to be my Champion....

"Ah first met 'eem at ze DRESS rehearsal....

"... Ah was not going to ask 'eem mahself - Frankly, Ah 'ad been feeling a leetle...flat.. after ze child Amelie, seester of Michael and Katherine, cut off mah beauuutiful 'air - ze leetle monkey!"

"I was a leetle shy, being a stranger from Bestchesteur - mais zey even eenvited me to stay on for a PARTY, after ze tournament!"

"...And Sir Per, 'e give me zees BEAUTIFUL rose, afterwards! Ah weel always treasure eet!"
