Jennie must surely regret her impersonation of the Princess von
Steinheimer at the Duchess of Chiselhurst’s Ball. Detectives know
it wasn't the real Princess and are pressing her for more
information. And, in the meantime, she received a letter from her
Highness: "My dear Jennie,” her Highness wrote, “I am sure the
detectives are after you, and so I thought it best to send you a
word of warning. Of course it is only surmise on my part, but for
days there has been a woman hovering about the castle, trying to
get information from my servants. My maid came directly to me and
told me what she knew. The woman detective had spoken to her. This
inquisitive person, who had come from Paris, wished particularly to
know whether I had been seen about the castle during the week in
which the Duchess of Chiselhurst’s ball took place; and so this
leads me to suppose that some one is making inquiries for you. It
must be either Lord Donal Stirling or the Duke of Chiselhurst, but
I rather think it is the former. I have written an indignant letter
to Lord Donal, accusing him of having caused detectives to haunt
the castle. I have not yet received a reply, but Lord Donal is a
truthful person, and in a day or two I expect to find out whether
or not he has a hand in this business. Meanwhile, Jennie, be on
your guard, and I will write you again as soon as I have something
further to tell.” Ominous developments, indeed! And how does the
Prime Minister fit into all this?

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
