  3. Lickspittles, Buttonholers and Damned Pernicious Go-Betweens


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. The three men journey to France and meet Napoleons top lickspittle, buttonholer and go-between, their female counterparts. Plots abound, flying machines are destroyed and the head of Marie Antoinette is discovered during the madcap struggle to save Copenhagen from British howitzers. The main characters speak in rhyming alexandrine verse, while a host of supporting characters converse in sestinas, haiku, free verse, limericks and sonnets. In a rhyming, metered world, the offbeat rules.
