The following circumstance, which happened at Berlin very
lately, occasion much speculation. His Prussian majesty
being at the French playhouse, sitting between the Earl of
Hynford and the Marquis de Valori; the curtain drawing up
suddenly, and several people creeping behind the scenes,
leaving half their bodies to the view of the audience; the
King said, smiling, to the Earl of Hynford, yonder is the
picture of the French ministry, abundance of heels, and
never a head. At this the Marquis de Valori look'd
exceeding grave, tho' every body else laughed heartily.
