The Market Woman and Talleyrand in Boston 1793
In 1793 M de Talleyrand met a market-woman in Boston who teased him about his identity. The tale follows Madame de la Tour-du-Pin and her escape from France to America, where she transforms into a skilled farmer’s wife and sells vegetables. A vivid vignette shows her resilience and charm, contrasting court life with emigration.
