Excerpt from Secret Memoirs of the Courts of Europe, Vol. 1 of 2
I fully agree with you, my dear S I remarked, after a short pause. If the emperor has remained any thing like what he was prior to his ascension to the throne, your estimate of his character is correct. And I went on to relate a little incident which occurred on the occasion of my first meeting with the emperor many years ago.
This meeting took place on that particular spot where the empires of Germany, Austria, and Russia may be said to meet, the frontier guards of each of those three nations being within hail of one another. The great autumnal military manoeuvres were in progress, and a merry party.
