Follow the extraordinary lives of Col. Gustave A. Breaux of New Orleans 1828-1910, and his flamboyant, high society daughter, Daisy, 1864-1949. Three times married, she acquired great homes in Charleston, New Jersey and Washington D.C.
With a practical streak that belied her debutante upbringing, Daisy turned her Charleston home into a luxury hotel, retaining the name "Villa Margherita."
True to her ever present clever wit, she conjured up the hotel's motto out of fractured Latin: "Sic tibi pecunia non intrare non licet est" She translated; "If you ain't got no money you needn't come around."
