Unfortunately, there was then at Berlin a King who pursued one policy only, who deceived his enemies, but not his servants, and who lied without scruple, but never without necessity.

(from The King's Secret - by Duke de Broglie, grand-nephew of the subject of the book, Comte de Broglie, and grandfather of the physicist) )

Most unconvincing excuse ever given.

FW would like to point out that this title has a strong contender via Katte's declaration that he only aided and abetted Fritz to save him from the marriage to an Austrian Archduchess and the conversion to the Catholic religion.

MT, otoh, thinks Fritz telling FS in a letter he's only invading to protect her and absolutely willing to be her champion takes the price.

Émilie is eying Voltaire's "I'm too fragile and sick to continue having sex with you" with a certain bitterness.

I think I would vote for MT and the gangster with good PR here.
