I am Miss Pancake Taylor. I have come from very far away to take care of my family Craig and Zita and Niamh and Emmet. Sometimes I have helpers; my friends the Blackthorn-Badgers. They are very old Scotsmen. I am very glad to meet you.

In March 1815 the French newspaper Moniteur reported as follows on Napoleon's journey to Paris after his escape from exile on the island of Elba.


March 10: The Corsican ogre has landed at Cape Juan.

March 11: The tiger is in Gap. Troops are on their way and will stop him. He will end his miserable adventure as a homeless refugee in the mountains.


March 12: The monster succeeded in proceeding to Grenoble.


March 13: The tyrant is now in Lyon. Horror has caught the people.


March 18: The usurper is some days march distant from Paris.


March 19: Bonaparte approaches in a hurry, but he will not succeed in advancing to Paris.


March 20: Napoleon will be in Paris tomorrow.


March 21: Emperor Napoleon is in Fontainebleau.


March 22: Yesterday evening His Majesty celebrated his arrival in Paris. The jubilation cannot be described.
