Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'13th February 1929 I note from ?Excelsior? that the ?Kings? or their representatives, the princes and princesses allied to the French Royal house have arrived at the Palais d?Orl?ans in Palermo for the marriage of the Princesse Fran?oise. What a game. It must be far more amusing to be a wealthy exile than a crowned king. This is the one-time home of Louis ? Philippe. Much in the papers today about the agreement between Mussolini and the Pope. The ?Era Nouvelle? sees in it a recognition by the Pope of Fascism. A deadly alliance. '
