Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Tichborne Trial In the early years of the reign of His Majesty King Louis Phillippe, there resided in the Rue de la Ferine, Paris, an English gentleman and his family, named Tichborne. Paris has undergone a wondrous transformation since then, but the Rue de la Ferme, or more correctly the Rue de la Ferme des Mathurins, is still represented by fragments of its former self which may be found by the curious in the Quarter of the Madeleine. Servants and tradespeople knew this gentleman as "Monsieur Teeshborne." He had a French wife, a French valet and footman, a French circle of friends and acquaintances. He spoke French like one of themselves. He was a Roman Catholic - his wife a devout one. Father confessors, and other dignified clerical persons, were often found within his modest suite of rooms above the entresol, where, in Continental fashion, he lived snugly, and was only to be approached by a preliminary parley with the concièrge in his little lodge across the paved courtyard. If this gentleman was not exactly naturalized, it was clear that his family were in a fair way to become part and parcel of the great French nation.
