Maple, Maple et Cie

A Parisian delicatessen specialising in high-end chocolat, founded by Godfrey de Frou-Frou Maple and Maginot de Vere Maple. The business transmogrified when, during a trip to the new world to expand their sources of cacao, the Maple brothers were shipwrecked off the coast of Grand Cayman in 1891. There they met George Ugland, diversified their business into legal practice, and the rest, they say is l’histoire. Important disclaimer: The author has never been to the Cayman Islands, and he’s hardly going to get an invitation now. There is, therefore, much fantastical speculation in this article and you should assume it is, at the very least, mostly false.
