Ha! And this is made even better by felis's comment!

Indeed!

Even the most gifted narrator would find it difficult to construct an account of the 1720s both coherent and interesting, or indeed either of those things.

LOL! Well, you are clearly gifted, but it was obviously rather difficult to get there, omg.

Thank you, but we haven't even *got* to the 1720s, lol. :'D Admittedly, I have told you some things about the diplomatic maneuverings of the period in the past, but I got side-tracked on the dissertation I was reading on British foreign policy in 1727-1731. Should maybe put that back on my reading list.

Hahahaha, good. I'll continue to ask newbie questions about things you have already covered/answered at regular intervals, as usual, then!

Yes, keep up the good work! You are indispensable to the salon dynamic. <3
