cahn

But either way, it's telling that of all the jibes in Fritz' letters of that time, the "the only thing you're good for is sex" seems to have struck hardest. (Or at least Lehndorff thinks it did.)

Yeah. :/ Unfortunately, unlike (parts of) his bad condolence letters, I don't think the part that cahn reacted to was just lack of emotional intelligence: I suspect this one was very deliberate.

See, this is why I'm loving the apocryphal story about Elisabeth's reaction to a similar Fritz command so much. (And am without pity for George Keith, if it was him who brought the command.)

I so hope that story was real. You go, Messalina!
