Quotes by Susan Jaques  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

Dresden and Leipsic make very good chocolate, but that for his Excellency must come from Rome or Vienna; in short, I scarce saw anything in his house which was either the produce or manufacture of Saxony.”
Susan Jaques, The Empress of Art
