What I find interesting about La Mettrie is that for all this and Fritz' own words about him, he apparently liked him enough to write a eulogy, sticking up for a known atheist by basically pointing at the scientific method, and having it read at the Academy.

I guess that's meant to be singe, so someone beside Fritz calling Voltaire a monkey?
people peeping through keyholes (?!)
Ha. I'm amused.
As the Marquise was the sole woman to actually live in one of the King's palaces with her family, he wished her a new heir in this new apartment.
(In conclusion: frat boys are eternal.)
About this as well, and nicely euphemistic from Nicolai I'm sure. But also, still fascinated that she got to be the exception to the rule.
