Book excerpt: "D'Orsay's style and charm soon found favor with the influential Lord and Lady Blessington, who invited him to tour Europe with them. While on tour there he met some of the continent's most influential figures and boosted his reputation, and a lengthy stay in Naples cemented his extravagant tastes." "The Blessington-d'Orsay menage intrigued and scandalized London society, and gossip reached a fever pitch when d'Orsay agreed to marry Blessington's fifteen-year-old daughter, without ever having seen her."
