It’s amazing just to think about an eighteen-year-old Henry James!

Thanks, Barbara!

The poor Prince Imperial was later transfixed by a Zulu spear.

PL OK. Gosh. I read the Wikipedia entry.

It occurred to me at last to have a look at a map of Italy during our period and a great light shone.

PL OK again Pam. I'm beginning to get a handle on this with your help and that of maps. The plot is beginning to move in the direction of Henry James's earliest essays.

Best,

Barbara

That's the same unfortunate Archduke Maximilien who Napoleon III got killed in Mexico.

PL OK! Didn't Napoleon III lose his own princely heir in a previous chapter, killed in South Africa?

Talking of Hapsburgs - I came across some useless but entertaining information about a daughter of Otto v Hapsburg, last Crown Prince, in whom the born-to-rule gene has manifested itself. She is a Swedish parliamentarian (Moderate Party) and bears the improbable surname of Douglas, having married into Clan Douglas (Swedish branch!). I find it enchanting that one of her husband's names is Archibald.

Hi Barbara,

Who ever knew that there was a Swedish Clan Douglas! Amazing.

Thanks!

PL OK.

In an 1872 article Henry James was being scathing about Austrian Botzen (Bolzano) and other "German" cities - including even Heidelberg and Nüremberg. "Germany is ugly." I wonder if it was his Italian patriotism that sent him a bit over the top.

Best,

Barbara
