¹ Somewhat akin to this incident is the history of that summer abode of kings of France in the Bois de Boulogne at Paris, called " Madrid." When Francis I. was allowed to return to his capital, he pledged his parole that he would return to Madrid. But the delights of liberty and Paris were too much for honour; and while he wavered, a hint was thrown out similar to that suggested to the Rana when determined to capture Bundi. A mock Madrid arose in the Bois de Boulogne, to which Francis retired.
