This vibrant creature is back..., holding court in Paris and laughing up her fashionable sleeve at the rumors of her death....Irene packs] up her entourage and repairs to Monaco [where] she dons clever disguises, takes up with sailors, advises the Crown Prince..., and takes a most amusing tea with Sarah Bernhardt.
