Their Excellencies bid everyone greetings and asked them to seek their comfort.

Their Excellencies called upon Their Excellencies Byron and Ariella, autocrats and hosts for this unique event, to acknowledge the staff and teachers and performers who helped make this event a great success. This of course meant that Sir Ariella stood and spoke, much to Earl Byron's relief.
