Though I must say, having gotten as far as the Saint-Barthélemy in the Mémoires, Marguerite's description of that night is disappointingly short in comparison with what Dumas makes of it. (Don't get me started on how then there's suddenly a hole in the Mémoires, precisely at the time that most of Dumas' story happens... though perhaps there might be a bit of a correlation between these two facts. )
