While in Paris visiting the sites of the former emperor’s palaces and monuments, on a fine day in hired an open coach and took a drive in the countryside. The coach was stopped as the horses were rested outside a rather derelict country property. “That was the country place of the Marechal d’blank, the coachman informed him. The Emperor gave it to him after taking it away from Talleyrand. The coachman spat. Now Talleyrand is back as foreign Minister and the poor Marechal is shot. Now Talleyrand has grander places, than the one the Emperor took away when Barras the fat, when he also took Josephine.’

The Scottish (Ecossais) lawyer, poet, and secret novelist walked up to the doors and the idea for one of his greatest novels.
