About this book
The Missourian, by Eugene P. Lyle, lists in its contents, among others, the chapters "A Wilful Maid Arrives", "A Fra Diavolo in the Land of Roses" and "La Luz, Blockade Runner". A caption beside the name "JACQUELINE" reads "She was the spirit of the enigma, the very personification of the Napoleonic sphinx". A Mexican inquires "How, little Soldier-Boy Blue?", and Jacqueline answers "Alas, señor, he's quite a little brother to dragons."
Jacqueline gives her name as Mademoiselle d'Aumerle, and to "The Marquesa Juana de Aumerle!" she answers "Jeanne d'Aumerle, no other, sir". A man says "tell me!" to Jacqueline, who answers "Why, sire, I suppose that I could not help but listen to you", but she adds that first "you would have to give up your play kingdom here". A young prince is struck with trembling by the thought "For would not the day of his death, however far away also, sometime be the present, passing moment".
