Lickspittles, Buttonholers and Damned Pernicious Go-Betweens by Johnna Adams (Gidions Knot)Three extraneous Danish court officials: a professional loud mouth (the buttonholer), a kiss ass for hire (the lickspittle) and a successful dastard (the go-between) are tossed out of court just as Denmarks merchant fleet becomes of strategic importance in the Napoleonic war.
