Re: Toppings of all types, continued - the Curious Case of the Recurring Favourite

Am imagining Heinrich in some nice Parisian salon during his second Paris visit, in a Corner with Gertrud Mara Schmeling and Barbarina (on holidays from Silesia) going "how did he know?!?"

Love it!

(And then Barbarina makes a toast to Fritz, the bastard. He did pay handsomely, and damn but he had an eye for the bad 'uns.)

YES GOD YES. You bastard.

I like how you've got the only people here who could drink to Fritz paying handsomely. :P

Also, agree about multiple motives for everyone.

How come this particular page is even interested in Heinrich instead of being solely devoted to his King

"Haven't you heard I am der Einzige?!"

(Now I just have to figure out what Marwitz thinks he's getting out of all this.)

He read the Very Secret Manuscript on how to succeed at Fritz's court? :P Let's see, so far we're up to the following people starting family collections:

Katte (historical evidence)
Algarotti (inside joke)
Voltaire (historical evidence)
Marwitz - male (historical evidence)
Marwitz - female (inside joke*)
Trenck (historical evidence)
Glasow (inside joke)
Fredersdorf (CRACKFIC ONLY)

Am I missing anyone?

* Unless you believe "close friend" means "Wilhelmine/Marwitz action," in which case female Marwitz might be starting a collection at the Bayreuth court.
