Quote of the Month

Mrs. Mary-Eileen Russell, a.k.a. Elena Maria Vidal, at her blog Tea at Trianon:

When Marie-Antoinette's brother, Emperor Joseph II, was visiting Versailles, some pro-American French lady kept badgering him about the colonists' revolt. Finally, the Holy Roman Emperor curtly replied: "Madame, I am a royalist by profession."
