Okay, then clearly we and Nicolai have wronged Zimmermann re: the connection between Mackenzie and Bute. Yowsers. Though I still think Nicolai was right about Lord Bute being not out to avenge his brother's lost love. Mind you, I bet James M. wasn't exactly broken hearted when he learned Britain would no longer finance Fritz' continuing war. :)

BTW, cahn, it's time for a new post so I can do my 00Diable write up...
