A daring tale that "explains" a great historical event. The most daring and the most consistently sustained of his many stories, and is heartily recommended to seekers for exciting reading.

He made his way through the heterogeneous little crowd of men and women who were drinking at the bar, past the scarlet-coated orchestra, into the inner room, where the tables were laid for supper. Monsieur Albert, satisfied with the appearance of his new client, led him at once to a small table, submitted the wine card, and summoned a waiter.
