Ooh la la la malaise francaise

Ooh la la, la malaise francaise. Difficult to explain why Napoleon does not himself venture out onto the high seas, though rumours are all about Chartres that he is diseased these years and does not appear openly en publique. We have sent our spy Capt Roberto de Suffolk to Versailles to find out what ails the dying dictator - perforce it is the usual Plunkett & Maclean from the Bois de Boulogne alas!!
