Remarkable Career of Defaulting Banker
The piece chronicles M. Simeon de Percy, Paris banker turned financier, whose rise from Riviera waiter to yacht captain and Paris social circles ends in large losses and alleged frauds. It details his losses to crooks, bogus deals, and a notable case involving Prince Frederick Charles von Hohenlohe, with moves from Paris to London stock markets. The narrative also covers courtly scandals, society dining, and the broader theatrical season in London, plus a Russian officer Guchakoff abandoning pursuit of his eloping wife amid international intrigue.
