The King of Corsica and the Night in London
A historical vignette set in 1762 London centers on Theodore von Neuhoff the Corsican claimant and Count Poniatowski. In Dolly's coffee house a clash of titles leads to a dinner, a pawned signet, and a dramatic secret that ends with an English winter and a death by suicide. The scene blends real figures with conjecture as the tale folds into a fatal moment.
