...Prince George, a lieutenant on H. M. S. Durban, was reported from Bermuda to have received orders to dash for London, transferring in mid-ocean from the frail destroyer Durban to a swift and sturdier liner.

Marie Antoinette was a lovely martyr in white dimity and ash-gold hair; Louis, her royal spouse, a wistful dullard who would have made an honest artisan. The worldly cardinal who passionately loved Antoinette nevertheless caused her miserable downfall because he was the dupe of a scheming court slut.
