My dear Madame le Huggy,
:
: If I were an American, as I am an Englishman,
: while a foreign troop was landed in my country,
: I never would lay down my arms,
: - never - never - never!
: (William Pitt, English Prime Minister, 1708-1778)
Indeed, madame, indeed... I believe this quote proves that Englishmen could be quite noble adversaries...
My turban's off to said Prime Minister.
Cordially yours,
The Turkish Trader
