Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Made in Paris: A Play of Humor and History
Beaumarchais - I regret to hear it. Mr. Lee is too much a trouble maker. Besides, he does not know how to hold his tongue. The English spies hear everything he says. In consequence, the English have just captured three Hortalez Company ships off Bordeaux. No, I do not like Mr. Lee. He is probably honest, but so suspicious -but you will pardon me? Deane - He is one fellow countryman I do not care to defend. Monsieur de Beaumarchais, there is a question I should like to ask. Who created Hortalez and Company? (beaumarchais bows, nodding and smiling.) - I thought so! In the name of my country, I thank you for that great idea. You are. The best friend America has in France. (they shake hands.)
