Synopsis

Whether it is a little affair with rapiers, the delivery of a message involving a cardinal's hat, or a simple abduction, Monsieur de Mailly is ever at your service. He is ambassador extraordinary to highly placed intriguers, squire to distressful dames, cavalier, courier, opportunist - but always with a sense of humor. Following the gay adventures of this fortunate blade you will relive in old France in her Augustan age, walking the galleries of the Tuilieres, meeting satin-clad periwigged dandies, jack-booted rufflers, and the fairest, most alluring women of history.
