This is perhaps an extreme case, but you will find many to match it. Another folio, Rochefort's History of the Caribby Islands, was lettered "Davies' Carriby Islands," because the title bore the statement "Rendered into English by John Davies." In another library, the great work of the naturalist, Buffon, was actually lettered "Buffoon's Natural History."
"Courage, courage! remember that in a quarter of an hour you will be safe; and think that what you are about to do is for HIS sake." "Yes, yes, everything for him. You have restored my courage by a single word; go, I will rejoin you." Milady ran up to her apartment quickly; she there found Rochefort's lackey, and gave him his instructions.
Why did she permit herself to suffer so for her friends; in the present instance, a friend who would probably rather the contrary by no means thank her for her pains? She wanted to talk to Burnaby. She was missing most of his visit. She wanted to talk to Burnaby so greatly that the thought made her cheeks burn faintly. She began to hate Pollen. Mary Rochefort's cool, young voice broke the spell.
"I understand you are always just back from some place, or on the verge of going." "Usually on the verge," answered Burnaby. He looked at her deliberately, a smile in his dark eyes; then he looked at Pollen. "Where were you the War?" "Yes by way of Roumania in the end." "The War!" Mary Rochefort's lips became petulant.
To meet him, Mrs. Ennis had asked her best, for the time being, friend, Mimi de Rochefort Mary was her right name and Mimi de Rochefort's best, for the time being, friend, Robert Pollen.

I bought Henri Rochefort's paper next day, to see what his correspondent had to say about the visit. Some passages from it are too racy not to be quoted.
It is thought that the delegate, enraged at Rochefort's purpose of deserting his colleagues, betrayed him to the Prussians who held the fort of Vincennes. The Prussians sent word to the frontier, and there the fugitives were arrested. Rochefort had no luggage, but in his pocket was a great deal of miscellaneous jewelry, a copy of "Monte Cristo," and some fine cigars.
Down in the courtyard half-clad wretches, their bare limbs all mottled with blood-stains, strutted about with plumed helmets upon their heads, or with the Lady Rochefort's silken gowns girt round their loins and trailing on the ground behind them.
"You've told me all I wanted to know." Mrs. Ennis waved toward the piano. "There's Blais Rochefort's photograph," she retorted in tones of good-humored exasperation. "Go over and look at it." "I will." Burnaby's black shoulders, bent above the photograph, were for a moment the object of a pensive regard. Mrs. Ennis sighed. "Your presence makes me puritanical," she observed.
It was a chaise drawn by three horses, driven by a postillion; Rochefort's lackey would precede it, as courier. Milady was wrong in fearing that Mme. Bonacieux would have any suspicion.
