Going back for a moment to the red outfits on Sarah and Beatrice: I liked the color on both of them however their dresses should have been reversed. Beatrice should have worn the lower cut one with arms bare and Sarah, if she had class and taste would have covered up more. I don't mind her hair...

The girls have nice faces--but ungainly shapes. I guess like their mother they will fight weight but apparently are doing so. The DoY really doesn't seem to care about herself much--hair, makeup, grooming--but she goes out looking like that and apparently doesn't think a thing about it. I'm more...

Dark Countess vs Duchesse d' Angouleme I too am just finishing this book; I had no idea in spite of voracious reading on the French and the Revolution that Ernestine was a half-sister to the Children of France. However in regard to the identity of the Dark Countess I cannot believe that the...
