The tall guys thing always makes me laugh when it's about how weird FW is, but not when it's about, well, the tall guys :(
When the King had lunched eight days ago with the English envoy du Bourgue, there was a lot of hard drinking; and since his Majesty emptied a cup toasting the King of England's health directed at the Chevalier Hotham, the envoy demanded an equally large cup and asked for permission to toast his Majesty's health as well; which he put to the test, but holdling and emptying this put even his coworkers on week feet, but he still managed to keep his countenance; though at last his legs could not carry him anymore, and he had to be carried to his coach.
Heh! Man, FW.
Okay, I liked that story about Ulrike and Amalie :P :)
