{{a|cayman|}}Twin brothers [[Godfrey de Frou-Frou Maple]] and [[Maginot de Vere Maple]] were Parisian ''chocolatiers'' — they were the proprietors of the eponymous [[Maple, Maple et Cie]], a notorious hangout for dissolute Parisiennes in the roaring Twenties — until they were shipwrecked on the coast of [[Grand Cayman]] in ''[[Die Fliegenden Dudelsäcke]]'' in 1891 — an ordeal during which they first encountered Romilar freak [[George Robert Maguire Ugland]], with whom they would forge a lasting and fruitful relationship. The brothers gave the cocoa bean away — Ugland took a little longer — and established themselves in then scarcely populated islands as attorneys, advising on the financing behind the construction of the [[Tortuga Rum Company]] and the [[Tortuga Cayman Islands Rum Cake Co., Inc]]. | |||
One thing led to another and before you knew it they were world-leading [[Mediocre lawyer|structured finance lawyers]]. | |||
Their firm, [[Maple, Maple et Cie]] merged with arch-rival [[A. J. N. Calder]] in 1941 to found [[Maples and Calder]]. | |||
