Abstract:
"A man dressed as a Turk plays a harp, while a woman seated beside him, puts her arm round him, pointing to an open music-book inscribed 'Black Joke [a coarse song]. Fol de rol lol &c.' Behind them is a berth let into the wall of the cabin. She says: "Macher [sic] Amie you play dot charming tune again, and den we go to bed!!" He sings: "Fol de rol lol, . . ." [&c.]. She is Louise Demont, a Swiss femme-de-chambre, a leading witness against the Queen; her evidence, like Majocchi's, was much damaged in cross-examination. She called herself Colombier, from her native place, and had been styled while in England 'Countess Colombier'. She was with the Princess on the Syrian journey, and was cross-examined (1 Sept.) as to her personal knowledge of the sleeping-place of a Jew harper who went on board the polacca at Tunis. 'Parl. Deb.', N.S. ii. 1158 f., 1166. See British Museum Satires Nos. 13864, 14121."--British Museum online catalogue
