Chapter 19 Versailles (2)

When Caffrey and Komer arrived at the outskirts of the Versailles Hunting Manor, they could see from afar that the parking area and horse stables stretched on endlessly, with coachmen gathered in groups by the rest area next to the stables, chatting while smoking their cigarettes.

Nobody paid any attention to the arrival of Caffrey and Komer. Carriages like Caffrey's, utterly ordinary, were a dime a dozen here. Even luxurious horse-drawn carriages, engraved or marked with various grand family crests, were not unusual at this place—the leisure site of His Majesty the King, where one was surrounded by either the Great Aristocracy or the kingdom's high officials, or else by the immensely wealthy traders and usury merchants.
