    "It is a shame that you would never receive Voltaire", he said, sounding amused despite himself and returning to French. "I would enjoy watching."

    We would all enjoy watching! Alas, she was too smart to pay for what she could get for free.

    Count of Rheinsberg, ha! Your anonymity is about as good as your fans'. :-P

    Fritz quoting the Bible was such a nice touch: he did know it very well, for the reasons you give, and loved to quote it at people.

    The mutual snark about borders was *brilliant*. So sharp and in character, even down to Fritz's artistic analogy.

    All the back and forth and political reasoning and obvious intelligence and strength of will on both sides...PERFECT.

      „Count of Rheinsberg“ is still better than „Countess Zollern“, which is what Wilhelmine called herself when travelling through France and Italy. ;)

      Mutual snark is pretty much this pair of characters‘ must-mode of interaction, which is why I loved writing them so much.
