Trobillant

Overview

An American lady with a French title, met in Paris in April 1881: the Mon Journal t.14 index reads «Trobillant (comtesse de), Américaine : 117». No first name is known.

Relevance to Marie

On 18 April 1881 the family goes with Alexis and Bojidar, Bailleul, la Cerny and the Tchoumakoffs to a fashionable gathering of «Des Américaines ravissantes et ... beaucoup de vieilles cascadeuses du monde». After Mme Cartwright, who invites Marie to call, «la comtesse de Trobillant une Américaine vieille types-se excentrique qui nous invite chez elle» (091.0491). So she is an elderly eccentric American who invites the family. See CARTWRIGHT.

Identity uncertain

We cannot confirm the French spelling of the title or who she was. If you can identify her, we would be glad to hear from you.
