Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Brood of False Lorraine the History of the Ducs De Guise, Vol. 1 of 2 One day, towards the end of the winter of 1513, a young man and a girl might have been observed in conversation in a room in the Hotel des Tournelles in Paris, that ancient palace where mad King Charles VI had amused himself with the first playing-cards, where Bedford had lorded it as Regent of France for his infant nephew Henri VI of England, and where Charles VII, "le Victorieux," had forgotten Jeanne d´Arc. Both were good to look upon; the young man - scarcely more than a lad, since he was but in his eighteenth year - tall, supple, straight as a lance-shaft, with a fresh complexion, fair hair, and a pleasant smile; the girl, who was some two years his senior, not very tall, but well formed, with beautiful blue eyes, abundant chestnut hair, and regular features, though the nose was perhaps a trifle too long for perfect beauty.
