someone with an extraordinarily long name that you couldn’t correctly pr-nounce if you were paid to.
when king louis xvi was told the news of the fall of the bastille by the duc de la rouchefoucauld-lianocourt, he exclaimed
“why, this is a revolt.”
“no sire,” replied the duc, “this is a revolution.”
“hey what’s his name?”
“i dunno, might as well be duc de la rouchefoucauld-lianocourt…”
la rochefoucauld-liancourt and not la rouchefoucould-liancourt as morgan writes!
great french family with a wonderful name dating back from the umpteenth century; ill-strated by the said duke and by another one who was a moralist in the reign of louis xiv.
we had dinner with the rochefoucauld-liancourt yesterday; as usual the duke complained it was so difficuly to find good maidservants nowadays!
