Synopsis
Excerpt from A Tsars Gratitude
Grand Dukes, for great things were expected of the troops this day; and there was much light-hearted conversation and laughter, in which the Princes Alexander and Constantine took their full share. Suddenly something happened, however, c which, though viewed at first rather as an entertaining episode than otherwise, soon took a more serious aspect. As the glittering company passed a troop of the Gardes d Cheval, the horse of one of the troopers took fright and bolted, startled by the sudden greeting of the soldiers to their imperial visitors; and instantly the horse of the Grand Duke Alex ander started in pursuit. Constantine, his brother, roared with laughter, and offered to back the prince for a hundred roubles; but the trooper's charger was a splendid animal, as most of the horses of that fine regiment are, and was not to be so easily overtaken. On and on went the pair, to the delight of the entire army - a glorious race and it was not until the animals were seen to be heading straight for the English lines that any one began to look grave.
