Xavier Boniface Saintine was a 19th century French novelist and dramatist. Saintine was a prolific dramatist, and collaborated on more than 200 pieces with Eugène Scribe. The Solitary of Juan Fernandez, or the Real Robinson Crusoe was written in 1851. The story begins in a Scottish inn where Kitty, the innkeeper, meets a sailor. 'Listen to me, Kate, and do not reply hastily. I came here, not like many others, attracted by your beautiful eyes, but because I wished to obtain recruits for an approaching voyage which I expected to undertake at my own risk and peril. I do not know how it has happened, but I now think less about sailing; I seem to be stumbling over roots. Right or wrong, I imagin...
This young lady, known throughout the neighborhood under the name of pretty Kitty, had contributed not a little, by her personal charms, to the success and popularity of the inn. In her early youth, she had been a lively and piquant brunette, with black, glossy hair, combed over a smooth and prominent forehead, and dark, brilliant eyes, a style of beauty much in vogue at that period. Though tall and slender in stature, she was, as our ancestors would have said, sufficiently en bon point. In fine, Kitty merited her surname, and more than one laird in the neighborhood, more than one great nobleman even,-thanks to the familiarity which reigned among the different classes in Scotland,-had figured occasionally among her customers, caring as little what people might say as did the brave Duke of Argyle, whom Walter Scott has shown as conversing familiarly with his snuff merchant.
The larger part of this pamphlet relates to the insurrection in Juan Fernandez, Aug. 1835, and the author's subsequent expulsion from the islands.
