Twice Seven: The Autobiography of Henry Charles Bainbridge

Review:
By an interesting coincidence this autobiography contains a fairly longish account of Corvo. Bainbridge was the one friend whom Corvo didn't attack in his Hadrian the Seventh. Mr. Bainbridge, when he knew Corvo, worked as a chemist for the late Sir Ludwig Mond, and later on in life was the English representative of the greatest of modern goldsmiths, namely Faberge, a Russian. The book contains many amusing stories of royalty, the great, and the near great, who came into contact with Bainbridge in the line of business. The atmosphere is redolent of those dear, secure days before the war. A gossipy and quite delightful book.
