Brigadiere Gerard


Ye kynge is moſt amuſed.

Indeede, amuſed that they ſhall finally be makynge a movinge picturre of ye novels of Brigadiere Gerard.

For thoſe who have not reade them, they are ſhorte ſtoryes, moſt droll, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, aboute a Huſsar in Napoleon's armye, in a period ſomewhate later than myne.

Nevertheleſs, as may bee ſeene a few poſtes downardes, this doth not reaſsure mee for I feare a reſurgence of ye Frenche-baſshinge.

Will it be ſo? Ye kynge wondereth.
