Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Queen´s Necklace: Or, Royalty´s Dangers and Defenders; A Historical Romance About a quarter past three p.m., early in April, 1784, the old Marshal Duke of Richelieu, after having perfumed himself with his own hand, pushed back the looking-glass in his valet´s grasp, and shaking his head, with his own emphatic air, said: "I am looking fine now." He got up from his armchair, flipping off his sky blue velvet coat; the white powder drifted from his wig, with juvenile briskness. After strutting up and down the dressing-room two or three times, cracking his ankles and jerking out his hamstrings, he called: "My steward!" In five minutes the steward came, in full dress. "I suppose you are going to give me a good dinner," he said with the gravity comporting with the occasion; "you had the list of guests, eh?" "I have them by heart; nine in number -" "Right; to begin with, at what hour do we dine?" "My lord, the citizens dine at two, the legal gentlemen at three, nobility at four, and to-day your grace will dine at five, like royalty." "Why like royalty, prithee?" "Because there is a king on the list your grace honored me with." "Not a bit of it; you are making a blunder. My guests are noblemen, only."
