    I enjoy history from the 18th century. Since I'm really into classical music this time period really suits my fancy. I don't blame her for becoming a courtesan since I understand women didn't have many options for independence back then. Thank you for another stupendous episode.😁

    She may not have been faithful to the men in her life, but she was a strong, brave woman to risk her life to save others during the revolution.

    you are making history come alive. for me, learning about real individual’s lives is what history really is about (once you know the outline of events). there are various novels which are great at this, but this is fantastic. i do fell from your way of writing things up and narrating, the tensions and feelings of the lives. so anyway - thanks so much. :) 🌷🎭

      That’s a marvelous film. When I began to listen to this story I instantly recognized it as the story of that film. The English subtitles are well done and the casting IMO is perfect, especially the scene where she hides the marquis between the feather mattresses of her own bed. (My German great-grandmother did the same thing in hiding a dissident from the soldiers in Berlin, Germany in the late 1800’s!) Talk about grace under fire!

    *Very Well Done*
    This is a particularly worthy recollection of a "life of situations" that prove to reflect Empathy, Conscience, Personal Fortitude, Bravery, and Actions for the Wellbeing of Others".
    It is truly worthy of a book (which I'm assuming has been written) and it has the depth with variable subjects and situations that comprise the desired foundation necessary for a subsquent movie. These subject situations being so valuable in their realities that it would, without doubt, be a classic, given the necessary Achieved level Writers and Producers.
    An excellent choice for this Channel's presentation here.
    Very Well Done.
