After all, while Nellie was siring a brace of young whelps from Emma, he was married to Eben Scrooge's younger sister, whose unprintable name begins with an "F." This caused awkwardness whenever King George III invited Lord Nellie over to the palace for a state dinner. Conventions of that period required Nellie to drag F. To the feasts, even though he was living with Emma. These repeated socially embarrassing incidents soon entangled Nellie in the D-e-s-p-a-r-d assassination plot against King George III, causing the Admiralty to give him the choice of public decapitation or a suicide mission. He chose the latter option.
