"When I met Marquise, it was a long time ago. I was six, and she several centuries older. We spent much time together; she, the most ravishing actress of the reign of Louis XIV, and I, a schoolchild, a student and then a cosily anonymous writer and journalist. I loved her in silence, no-one troubled our intimacy. And then, the fact of having spoken of her to Vera Belmont catapulted Marquise into a milky way awaiting its queen. Now, everyone knows and loves the Marquise Du Parc. Strangely, that has not stopped me loving her, even more." (J.F. Josselin - screenwriter, journalist)
