"fooling elaborately with their whiskers"
Archduke Ferdinand's Trabants are embarrassed by their employer's behavior, I suppose. Or they're hipsters hanging out in a dive bar in Portland trying not to look like they're pretending to not want to be noticed.

"demented princeling"
I wonder if I looked up the etymology of "demented" I would find it literally means "crazy from blue balls."
