Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Friend of Marie-Antoinette: Lady Atkyns When I brought out at the Vaudeville in 1896 my play, entitled Pamela, Marchande de Frivolites, in which I had grouped together dramatically, with what verisimilitude I could, all the various Royalist attempts at rescuing the son of Louis XVI., the Dauphin, from the prison of the Temple, there were certain scholars who found fault with me for representing an Englishwoman, Lady Atkyns, as the protagonist, or at least the prime mover in the matter of his escape. Some of them went so far as to accuse me of having invented this character for the purpose of my piece. Lady Atkyns, certainly, has left but few traces of her existence; she was a Drury Lane actress, pretty, witty, impressionable, and good - it seems there were many such among the English actresses of the time.
