Re: Boswell in Prussia: All Things Fritz

I found him dry & even insipid.

I can't deny that it gives me a kick whenever anyone dislikes Catt (which... everyone does? Do we have an example of anyone who liked Catt?) Still mad at him about those memoirs >:(

For I thought one might well endure all the fatigues of war, in order to have an opportunity of appearing grand as this Monarch.

Aw, Boswell. Especially given what comes later <3

However I was pleased to have shown the first blue bonnet on the Prussian Parade.

He is so cute! Like mildred, I see what you mean about him and Lehndorff being a bit alike -- I think part of it is not just that they're both really unselfconsciously curious about everything, although that's part of it -- but also they're both cheerfully unselfconscious in general :D

And I also love about him how he changes his mind unselfconsciously and dramatically about Fritz when he sees Dresden :( <3
