Re: Lafayette

[cahn]

There would be no monsieur Connecticut Lafayette.

Hee. Oh Benjamin Franklin!

I do not inquire who is the greater general, his brother or he, a question that divides the military world; but to first rate abilities, both as a soldier and a politician, to a perfect literary knowledge, and all the endowments of the mind, he joins an honest heart, philanthropic feelings, and rational ideas on the rights of mankind.

Lehndorff: *sparkly hearts* See? I'm not delusional!

I am right there with you, Lehndorff! *sparkly hearts for problematic fave*

Heinrich: Honest heart, rational ideas about the rights of mankind...I can see where the contrast comes in.

LOLOLOLOL!

Ferdinand: ...Two uncles? Never mind, I'm used to it.

LOL FOREVER :D

I'm very glad you found this! :D
