Death in the temple.(The Lost King of France: Revolution, Revenge and the Search for Louis XVII)(Book Review)
The Lost King of France: Revolution, Revenge and the Search for Louis XVII, by Deborah Cadbury; HarperCollins, 2002, $29.95.
I told about Louis Sixteenth that got his head cut off in France long time ago; and about his little boy the dolphin, that would a been a king, but they took and shut him up in jail, and some say he died there.
"Po 'little chap."
"But some says he got out and got away, and come to America."
"Dat's good! But he'll be pooty lonesome--dey ain'no kings here, is dey, Huck?"
"No."
"Den he cain't git no situation. What he gwyne to do?"
