Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 45

[cahn]

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) )

Lol, the great thing is that whatever it is, I am unlikely to know it (and even less likely to know the chronology), so you should say it! :D

It's true, that's why we have a salon! If not for cahn, I'd spend all my time going, "I bet Selena knows this, I don't want to insult her by Mildred-splaining history to her..." and never end up saying anything, but when one of us says something to cahn, the other can riff off of it, sparking a discussion in which we all learn things!

We call this alchemy. :D (The kind that doesn't use mercury and cause health problems.)
