As a good Citizen (and student of Genetics), I think I’ve figured this one out. But, since Madame P. has one of her shows this weekend, I won’t be around until Sunday evening. If it’s still unsolved, I’ll ask a question or two then. Play on!

272

I’m already stumped. I don’t know from French ambassadors.

273

IQ: Are you the Revolutionary Ambassador Citizen Genet?

274

Dingdingding! Yes, I am indeed

Citizen Genet

Revolutionary France’s envoy to the U.S., who quickly annoyed everyone, was recalled to France (where he almost certainly would’ve been executed during the Reign of Terror) and was eventually granted asylum and lived out the rest of his days in America: Edmond-Charles Genêt - Wikipedia

And see this brief scene from HBO’s excellent John Adams miniseries: Avoiding the European Conflict.wmv - YouTube

Well done, PP!

Thanks! I want to commend my teammates for some truly inspired DQs. Finding out he was a French ambassador to the U.S. who died in the 19th Century in only 15 questions is amazing.
Now, I am S.
