Lesseps

Reacting to ideas that had been planted in her head, pre-trip, by Housewives Jill Zarin and Luanne de Lesseps?

And de Lesseps recently met a beau, a Frenchman—and, as luck would have it, one who doesn't watch television.

"I think Bethenny has a falling out with everybody this season," de Lesseps said.

Snuffling into the phone, de Lesseps offered to belt out a few verses of her upcoming single, "Money Can't Buy You Class."

But the only man who formed the mental picture in his mind and afterwards developed it into a concrete plan was De Lesseps.

The aged de Lesseps—acclaimed as a hero yesterday, denounced as a traitor to-day—died of a broken heart.

This was the theater of the failure of Count de Lesseps, the most stupendous financial fiasco in the history of the world.

De Lesseps, like many another man, had been spoiled by success, and had lost his usual good judgment.

And even now de Lesseps and his men were digging night and day that the steamboat might push the proud clipper from the seas.
