Preface to End Them All. Ford maintains some reserve even with his family, including his daughters Charlotte and Anne Uzielli and his 21-year-old son Edsel II, a student of business at Massachusetts' Babson Institute. He told his daughters about his impending marriage to his second wife Cristina only 24 hours before it occurred. He met Cristina, a blonde Italian divorcee who looks like a Mediterranean Ingrid Bergman, in 1960 at a party in Maxim's in Paris.

Like the nearby Maria Cristina, the Palais is the expression of a royal whim: Emperor Napoleon III built it as a summer residence in 1854 to please his wife Eugénie. The palace closed when the dynasty fell, but it reopened as a hotel in 1894 and has been one of the world's finest ever since. La specialité de la maison is pamper le guest.
