Epsom

Epsom, the Surrey racecourse (Epsom Downs) where the Derby is run, named once by Marie in 1874-06-28 (020.0414), with the newspaper notice of the Hamiltons' return: «"Le duc et la duchesse de Hamilton sont arrivés en Angleterre venant d'Orient" (Derby) tout comme si on disait que la pouliche de M. Lefèvre est arrivée à Epsom, après le Grand Prix. Cette belle annonce me rappela à moi, et j'ai envie de pleurer.» The notice is apparently taken from the sporting paper Le Derby, the word she puts in brackets (compare #Le Derby); the joke compares the announcement to a racing result ("arrived at Epsom, after the Grand Prix"). The Grand Prix de Paris of 1874 was run on 14 June (Mon Journal t.3 index). Not a person: a place, see the move list.
