Also neither Blücher Nor Schwarzenberg had time for politics-only leaders. (Lots of Ego all round) How the coalition of Leipzig ever got that far or even as far as Paris is one of the great mysteries of the 19th century for me.

Ultra-royalist- "ego-centric, out-of-touch and devoid of ability." I think that was either Blücher or Schwarzenberg. The Count of Artois knew how to make an impression on people -just not a good one. :-)

Checking a translation can be a slog, but it can also be a ton of fun. I'm learning more French nuances as I go. There are different ways to say someone "studied acting": la comédie, l'interpretation, l'art dramatique &&. I like thinking about which one I prefer. But mostly the translation is great!
