circa 1805: British statesman Charles James Fox (1749 - 1806) threatens Frederick William III of Prussia (1770 - 1840) with the words 'O you Prussian marauder you! What, I've caught you at last? What, you took me for a double-faced tallyrand, did you? Did you think I was like yourself to look one way and row another? What, you thought because I make loyal speeches now that I must be a turncoat? O you Frenchified villain, I'll teach you to humbug and insult my poor dear dear Master? And to join with such rascals as Boney and O'Conner.' The cowering monarch replies 'Indeed! Indeed! Indeed! I could not help it...'
