Re: Andrew Mitchell: Pride and Prejudice

At the same time I must own to Your Lordship that I never wish to see the same brothers in the same army. My reason is, that there cannot be two suns in the same firmanment.

I know, I know, I can't get enough of Heinrich-Fritz, even second-hand.

Basically, the only key player in this war never reported to be either at death's door or able to be bribed out of it is MT. I suppose no spy would have dared to make up that story.

heeeee!

But! Editor tells us, remember that Fritz and Heinrich were half Hannover, too. So he's totally claiming them for England. While he's at it, he claims Wilhelmine and Amalie, too, as great women. What with being half Hannover.

LOL. Um. Right. Tell SD that too while you're at it, 'kay?

But what surprises me still more is, that whenever Voltaire's name is mentioned, his Prussian Majesty never fails to give him the epitephs he may deserve, which are the worst heart and the greatest rascal now living; yet with all this he continues to correspond with him.

Yes, Mitchell, it is indeed hilarious :)
