Beau Brummel meets Margery
in the garden before her wedding. He is confronted by her fiance,
Lord Alvanley. |
|
After losing Margery, Beau
decides to live a frivolous life among the rich. His way into
society is to befriend the Prince, which he does by saving the
Prince from a jealous husband. |
|
As a protest against the
tax on powder, the Beau had set the style for natural hair.
|
|
The Prince asks Beau, "Will
you arrange a little supper tonight, George (Beau's real name),
and invite some friends of the female persuasion -- say at eight?" |
|
After being caught with Lady
Hester, Beau says, "My dear Lord Henry. I fear I shall not
be able to come to your house again. You see, I am in love with
your wife." |
|
Margery slips out one evening
to tell Beau, "You have an enemy at Court -- someone I dare
not name. He has heard of your appointment with the Duchess and
threatens to tell the Prince." |
|
Lord Alvanley catches Beau
with his wife (Margery). "Lady Alvanley," he says,
"you've always wanted this tailor's dummy -- take him!" |
|
"Come, my dear,"
the Prince tells Margery, "tell Mr. Brummel you'll be happy
to see him leave for France." |
|
"Please your Majesty,"
Beau's servant Mortimer begs the Prince. "Pity and forgive!
He is ill -- broken -- near to starving!" |
|
Mortimer has not seen Beau
in years and finds him old and in poverty, his mind almost gone. |
