| 1:39.4 | Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History class, a production of I Heart Radio. |
| 1:52.4 | Hello and happy Friday. I'm Tracy V Wilson and I'm Holly Fry. This week we talked about Hortons and Marie Mancini. |
| 2:02.4 | So this, this episode went through a process of what is the episode about because what I originally started out with was just Hortons specifically. |
| 2:16.4 | And then I was like, maybe it needs to be an episode on all of the Mazarinettes and then I was like, that is way too much. |

| 4:10.4 | Because you know, we talked in this episode about the affair of the poisons and how many people were accused of poisoning and how much poisoning was going on. We did like our whole first season of criminelia was about women poisoners. And I'm like, did nobody just slip these gal some arsenic they could have gotten out of those |
