Diary References

1874

• January 13: Marie observes Lord Falkner "arm in arm with a gentleman and drunk as a pig" ("ivre comme un cochon"). She notes he is "very often far from being in a state of temperance." She contrasts his dissipated appearance with the Duke of Hamilton's fresh complexion, suggesting Hamilton doesn't drink as much.

Notes

• Part of the British aristocratic community in Nice
• Known for public intoxication
• Marie uses him as a negative comparison to Hamilton
