Notes
- ^ Samuel Butler recounts that
The Note-Books of Samuel Butler, Section XII.Cavaliere Negri, at Casale-Monferrato, told me not long since that when he was a child, during the troubles of 1848 and 1849, the King was lunching with his (Cav. Negri’s ) father who had provided the best possible luncheon in honour of his guest. The King said:
“I can eat no such luncheon in times like these - give me some garlic.”
The garlic being brought, he ate it along with a great hunch of bread, but would touch nothing else.
