Marie Gessler, known as Marie Chaumontel, Jeanne d'Avrechy, the Countess d'Aurillac, was German. Her father, who served through the Franco-Prussian War, was a German spy. It was from her mother she learned to speak French sufficiently well to satisfy even an Academician and, among Parisians, to pass as one. Both her parents were dead. Before they departed, knowing they could leave their daughter nothing save their debts, they had had her trained as a nurse. But when they were gone, Marie in the Berlin hospitals played politics, intrigued, indiscriminately misused the appealing, violet eyes. There was a scandal; several scandals.

Richard Harding Davis was probably the best war correspondent of his day in an age of such great ones as G.W. Steevens, A.B. Paterson and (yes) Winston Churchill, setting very high journalistic standards. He covered the Greco-Turkish, Spanish-American, Russo-Japanese and Boer Wars as well as World War I. And maybe a few others. He did not believe in "roughing it" famously commenting that the bath-tub was the dividing line between civilization and savagery. Any of his war correspondence pieces are well worth reading, and I highly recommend them. He was also a prolific writer of novels, but I have not read any of these so can't comment.Product details

Somewhere in France Richard Harding Davis 9781515386469 Books Reviews
This book was poorly edited, the grammar was weird in places.
Book of short stories, some better than others. Especially enjoyed THE BOY SCOUT.
Gave some insight to the struggles of the medical corps during wartime and also the independence of a woman from that era. Enjoyable, though a quite predictable ending.
