Today, it's in the "Voltaire Room", of course. Missing someone reciting the Henriade to it. That really is a wonderful and so telling story.
It *is*. Next time I go there, I will imagine Fritz reciting to it, with a complicated expression on his own face. "I miss you, you bastard!"
KPM: Yes, you're correct; I was oversimplifying, which I should not do in salon. :) Especially given how if I catch anyone else oversimplifying, I am *right there*. :P
Speaking of Fritz and businesses he owns, I missed my chance to match off HRE in my corporate AU with KPM. :P I was actually imagining Fritz not as the founder (because FW--whom I may have to split into previous CEO and abusive father, who are two different people in this modern AU) but as the new CEO who rebranded the company under a name he liked better when he took over, which is pretty much what historical Fritz did with KPM. That said, Sanssouci has better name recognition among readers, and two three-letter acronyms could get confusing. Still, I'm chuckling at the thought.
