88 in the country.................is king

[novalis]

Have seen both kingdom and country for 88. Still trying to get an angle on 56 for you.

[novalis]

Could be "the die has been cast" but that is more usually "the die is cast".

[novalis]

Just looked at my translations of Latin phrases and "The die has been cast" is given ( Alea jacta est. ) For the "blind" one I'd go with Wilmay's country as kingdom jars a little with king.
