Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Queen´s Necklace, Vol. 1 of 30 "Do you know, sir, that whenever I have heard the word ´but,´ and I have heard it many times in the course of eighty-eight years, it has been each time, I am sorry to say, the harbinger of some folly." "Your grace - " "In the first place, at what time do we dine?" "Your grace, the citizens dine at two, the bar at three, the nobility at four - " "And I, sir?" "Your grace will dine to-day at five." "Oh, at five!" "Yes, your grace, like the king - " "And why like the king?" "Because, on the list of your guests, is the name of a king." "Not so, sir, you mistake; all my guests to-day are simply noblemen." "Your grace is surely jesting; the Count Haga, who is among the guests - " "Well, sir!" "The Count Haga is a king." "I know no king so called." "Your grace must pardon me then," said the maître-d´hôtel, bowing, "but, I believed, supposed - " "Your business, sir, is neither to believe nor suppose; your business is to read, without comment, the orders I give you. When I wish a thing to be known, I tell it; when I do not tell it, I wish it unknown." The maître-d´hôtel bowed again, more respectfully, perhaps, than he would have done to a reigning monarch. "Therefore, sir," continued the old marshal, "you will, as I have none but noblemen to dinner, let us dine at my usual hour, four o´clock."
