FEATURING: MY SHAKY HANDS!!!!!

i love writing for the marquis de lafayette because when i was in fifth grade i went through a revolutionary war thing. but the thing is i thought marquis was his first name. i was digging through old stuff and found a story i wrote titled 'Marie Antoinette', and he was in it. and every time i mentioned him i wrote "marquis" and i got really confused.
"Why do you have so many names?"
"Comment?"
"Names. Joseph, Paul—names."
"Oui, oui. Alors. So many before me, they make dead in battle. And so ma mère, she want me have protection of heaven. And so, Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier."
"What do I call you then?"
"Gilbert."

Thank God Laffy Taffy introduced himself as "Lafayette" in "Aaron Burr, sir". Because imagine how tf would be if he said his full name like the others.
Lafayette: Oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette!!
Laurens:
Mulligan:
Burr:
Hamilton:
The whole bar:
Lafayette: ... The Lancelot of... the revolutionary set...?
During his venture into diplomacy, Lafayette declared, he had been guided chiefly by a single principle: he acted as he thought Washington wished him to act. 'I hope you will approve my conduct,' he wrote his 'adopted father,' 'and in every thing I do I first consider what your opinion would be had I an opportunity to consult it.' That rule of conduct had even become part of his family's code. Informing the revered leader that he hoped 'in the course of some months your God son will have a brother,' he added, 'My little family....are taught before all to revere and to love General Washington.'
