Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of a Crime, Vol. 2
The smile of the daughter was as sweet as that of the mother, and more fatal. The other was Madame K a Russian, fair, tall, blonde, lighthearted, involved in the hidden paths of diplomacy, possessing and displaying a casket full of love letters from Count Mole, somewhat of a spy, absolutely charming and terrifying.
The precautions which had been taken in case of accident were visible even from outside. Since the preceding evening there had been seen from the windows of the neighboring houses two post-chaises in the courtyard of the Elysee, horsed, ready to start, the postilions in their sad dles.
In the stables of the Elysee in the Rue Montaigne there were other carriages horsed, and horses saddled and bridled.
Louis Bonaparte had not slept. During the night he had given mysterious orders thence when morning came there was on this pale face a sort of appalling serenity.
