Heine smirked, "I don't think they can do much to me. I came to London this time to publish 'Travel Pictures,' a travelogue of my journeys across the European Continent, and I hardly mentioned Prussia at all. The articles criticizing Prussia, I've mostly left them in my apartment in Paris. 'Travel Pictures' mostly takes jabs at Britain and France, of course, I did touch on Prussia a bit."
Arthur, seeing that the groundwork had been sufficiently laid, then spoke up, "Mr. Heine, while I believe that creation is a rather personal matter, and outsiders have no right to nitpick how you write your articles. However, speaking out of a sense of justice from a friend's perspective, if you need manuscript fees to live on, perhaps you could be a bit more flexible in your creative techniques. You can't curse Prussia while in Prussia, curse France while in France, and come to Britain and start pointing fingers at Britain."
