Miss Branko
Also known as: Miss Branko, Branko
Overview
Miss Branko, a woman at Spa in summer 1874, known to be mad or eccentric (Mon Journal t.3 index: «Branko (Mlle), 260»). Marie uses her name as a byword in a repartee.
Relevance to Marie
Stub replaced. Nothing found on her beyond the index page (260 matches the Spa chapter).
Identity uncertain
We are not sure who this is. The diary only uses her name as shorthand for a mad person (020.0542), and the index lists «Branko (Mlle)». Why she was thought mad, and her full name, are unknown. If you can identify her, we would be glad to hear from you.
References in Diary
On 1 July 1874 at the Casino at Spa, flirting with the count, Marie says «Vous êtes fou, comme Miss Branko» (020.0542); he replies that he cannot become mad since he is already (020.0543). The rest of the evening is not about her.
