As a war mobilizer in the Kaiser's army in World War I, Captain Röchling ordered the scrapping...
...marketeer and confidant of the great. On the night of Talleyrand's great ball for Napoleon and Josephine, the eyes of Rémi and Corinne meet across a crowded room: "He saw her catch her breath. The chocolate dropped from her fingers. Her hand went to the base of her lovely white throat; her brilliant eyes burned, a promise to Rémi, a beckoning. He bowed, smiling." Within ten pages they are busily engaged in rumpling the sofa of Rémi's bachelor flat while Jardinier is bound for Amsterdam in his carriage with only...
