"... Crowds thronged the Champs-Elysees. Tout Paris paraded by in their elegant equipages, providing the first glimpse of the new Spring fashions.
Yet Tom Thumb stole the show, sporting a top hat, riding in a no-less-fancy miniature carriage with four grey ponies and four tiny liveried coachmen. The crowd along the avenue broke into cheers for 'General Tom Pouce.'"
