(Voltaire being Voltaire, he had no problem with Fritz mocking the French, given he knew he was mocking Fritz both to his face and to posterity even more effectively. *g*)

OMG. Pamela is just so over-the-top that it just makes me laugh every time I think about it!

Reminder to [personal profile] cahn that this was why Prussia didn't have a proper envoy in London but a "resident" who was Swiss and whom Fritz had never met for years and years.

Ah, hee! That's hilarious.
