D'Orsay; or, The complete dandy

by W. Teignmouth Shore

[36] Of Lady Blessington.

[37] Vide supra, [p. 225].

[38] The well-known poet and lyricist.

[39] An amazing version of D’Orsay’s death has recently been made public; namely, that in addition to the disease of the spine, the Count suffered also from a carbuncle, which “was a euphemism for a bullet aimed at the Emperor as they were walking together in the gardens of the Elysée.”
