Thank you! I most certainly do. As evidenced by this quote from Fritz to Ulrike when she suggests marrying Amalie to the Danish King:
I thank you, my dear sister, for your good intentions for my sister Amalie, but we are in no hurry to marry her. If the King of Denmark requests it, then we will have to see what we can advise, but the party is not at all as advantageous as it seems, there are children from the first marriage, and my sister will not have all the credit you seem to think, not to mention that these kind of alliances often lead to greater embarassment than they are useful. Besides, I do not like to throw my sisters at people.
Says the man who encouraged Ulrike to keep flirting with Voltaire so he can write love poetry to him, and married her to the Swedes where she's been seething about being stuck in a constitutional monarchy ever since.
