Quote Of The Day

From Al Nofi's CIC comes:

When the Duke of Wellington attended the Congress of Vienna in 1814, the Austrian secret police noted that he was accompanied by the famed opera singer Mme. Giuseppina Grassini, “a very pleasant kind of baggage”, who had previously been a mistress of a certain Corsican who had recently removed to Elba.

Ouch! That has to hurt. From the Corsican gentleman's perspective.
