Her doctors should have pushed that loop of bowel back inside and hoped that the hole would heal, but instead they made a terrible error. They cut it off. Now Caroline’s digestive system was destroyed, and she took ten days to die.
EEK. Ow ow ow. That... is not a way I'd like to die. (I mean, I suppose there aren't really good ways to die, but this seems like a particularly bad one.) Exhibit seventeen thousand or so on Why I Am Glad I Don't Live Then.
Wikipedia: "Over the next few days she was bled, purged, and operated on, without anaesthetic, but there was no improvement in her condition." Uh-huh.
"My dear Lord," replied the Queen, ' " I will give it you under my hand, if you are in any fear of my relapsing, that my dear first-born is the greatest ass and the greatest liar, and the greatest canaille, and the greatest beast in the whole world, and I that I most heartily wish he was out of it."

In the first place, I am sick to death of hearing of his great courage every day of my life ; in the next place, one thinks now of Mama, and not of him.

LOL
What he thought and said of the King of Prussia was much the same as what the King of Prussia thought and said of him ; that he was a proud, brutal, tyrannical, wrong-headed, impracticable fellow, who loved nobody and would use everybody ill that was in his power. How far these two Kings were in the right in this point, or how little they were so in every other, is not my business here to determine.
HAHAHAHA okay, Hervey, you get points for this, this is hilarious.
Re: Hervey's Memoirs: King Lear's Family has nothing on this
