The Siberian prison gets a telegaph from the Tsar reading "Execution Impossible Reprieve" and the messenger boy says the operator forgot to transcribe a comma. Is it: "Execution Impossible, Reprieve" or "Execution, Impossible Reprieve" Punctuation can be a matter of life and death A Duke is facing a firing squad the next day, but his sister is friends with the princess.
