" Ex- actly so, Beaucaire, that vivid, pastel-like sketch of a flashing episode in the life of a "small, fair gentle- man, " radiant, exquisite of heart, brilliant, auda- cious, winningly dignified, a French duke of the royal blood at Bath in the eighteenth century; who masquerades, for his private purposes, in this re- ...sort of white-satin-sheen fashion first as a "gamblist" barber, and then as the Due de Chateaurien, laugh- ing in his sleeve at the dull-witted Englishman who, incited by the Duke of Winterset's personal animos- Booth Tarkington 75 ity, tries to hunt him down as a laquais; who falls under the spell of "gold and snow and the blue sky of a lady's eye, " the Beauty of Bath, "bellissima, divine, glorieuse!" and who shows by his sword that he is one "born.
