Such an ugly business

[Somehow Maria Theresa has ended up reading about the First Partition of Poland.]

" ... Only after it became clear that Frederick and Catherine were going to partition Poland with or without Austrian participation did she agree to accept ... "

How dare they force me like that...

[It makes her upset just thinking about it.]

...I really need to make a list of which countries she would know and which she wouldn't. >.>;

[so forward] I beg your pardon? Your meaning is unclear to me.

[You're perfectly right though.]

Okay. I have just as much idea about the partitions as she does.

[warforsilesia]

I can assure you that I have not done any of the things you accuse me of. [Yet.] Additionally, I have only heard of this Catherine just now. I know the lady Elizabeth as ruler of Russia.

[Yes, but she's used to playing these sorts of games.]

[warforsilesia]

[She can just about follow that logic.] But if I remain in this place, I will not.

I find myself doubting that Russia descends to being ruled by dogs. [She'd believe it about France.]

[warforsilesia]

We have claimed Galicia for centuries, it is only right for us to regain it. [Did you see Hungary complaining about getting it back?]

...

Who might that be?

...Oh. King, not kind. I was confused, sorry.

[warforsilesia]

[The alliance with Russia she hopes to gain soon is looking more and more like the wisest course.]

Will he be the successor of Augustus?

I was imagining Catherine/Lithuania...

[warforsilesia]

Can I not seek to understand events without having accusations made against me?

She's good at that. Although Russia's still a prude.

[warforsilesia]

I cannot undo something which I have not done. Additionally, this makes it clear that it would happened with or without my involvement.

A true connoisseur of manhood. /nods

[warforsilesia]

What I will do is not what I have done and it would be best of you to remember that.
