  THE DUKE AND I is a work of fiction. While reference might be made to actual
  historical events or existing locations, the names, characters, places, and
  incidents are either the product of the author’s imagination or are used
  fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business
  establishments, events, or locales are entirely coincidental.
