Doris Kearns Goodwin Quotes

When Prince Napoleon, The Cousin Of Napoleon Bonaparte III, Visited Washington In Early August, Mary Organized An Elaborate Dinner Party. She Found The Task Of Entertaining Much Simpler Than It Had Been In Springfield Days. "We Only Have To Give Our Orders For The Dinner, And Dress In Proper Season," She Wrote Her Friend Hannah Shearer. Having Learned French When She Was Young, She Conversed Easily With The Prince. It Was A "beautiful Dinner," Lizzie Grimsley Recalled, "beautifully Served, Gay Conversation In Which The French Tongue Predominated." Two Days Later, Her Interest In French Literature Apparently Renewed, Mary Requested Volume 9 Of The Oeuvres De Victor Hugo From The Library Of Congress.
