Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Princess of the Old World
Monsieur was ready to marry, but he and his friends had views of their own. They decided that he ought to marry a foreign princess: he would then, they thought, be more independent of his brother; and when the King died, an event neither unwished nor unexpected, he would have foreign allies as well as a strong party in France.
