"LaChapelle is the nephew of the man who married Pam's mother. Velma Hardesty. That guy was—well, is, he's alive and well somewhere in the Netherlands, Haarlem I think—thick as thieves with this Jacques-Pierre Dumais. They spent a lot of time together while he was in town. And Dumais . . . Mr. Jenkins, I really don't want to say something stupid."

"Say it." Wes smiled. "As I recall, I thought your view of my mother's gravy boat was a pretty fair assessment of the item."

"Dumais makes a big thing about being Huguenot. It's one of the cards he plays, locally. 'I'm your heroic Protestant type Frenchman, no lackey of that evil Cardinal Richelieu.' The other, for the 250 Club people, is, 'I'm no Kraut,' which isn't quite the same thing. But in Rome, Ducos and those people who tried to assassinate the pope—they were Huguenots. And they were manipulating other people to do their dirty work. That included the Committee of Correspondence people in Venice."
