Who cares about Kofi Annan or democracy in the Ukraine? Today’s most pressing inquiry is – what really happened to the entrails of the Duchesse de Montpensier, and why did the chevaliers flee Versailles? Florence King, in all her glorious misanthropy, lets you know the answer to that, and to much more, in this replay of one of her classic columns (from September, 1996), part of NRO’s King Week marathon. After you finish laughing, which you will, and while you are in the grips of adoration for Lady Florence, we suggest that you consider ordering the repository for all her fine NR columns, the acclaimed STET, Damnit! (it’s the perfect gift for that special someone with that special sense of humor).
