Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Morganatic "Her Highness the Princess of Meissen-Loewenstein-Franka!" shouted the servant at the top of his sonorous bass voice, as he threw open the second wing of the folding-doors. The announcement created a sensation in the crowded room. The ladies who were seated turned their heads round, and in great excitement lifted their lorgnettes to their eyes. The men who lined the walls stood on tiptoe. Two reporters asked their neighbours in a whisper to repeat the name, and hastily wrote it down in their notebooks. Madame Abeille, the hostess, left two ladies whom she had scarcely finished greeting, with scant ceremony, flew through the crowd which divided to let her pass, to meet the new-comer. "My dear princess, she said, "how are you? I feared something had kept you from coming." "Yes, my dear friend," answered the princess, "we are a little late. I was uncertain up to the last. It is the first time I have been out since my year of mourning. But I wanted to give you my first evening." "Thank you, princess, thank you," replied Madame Abeille. "Ah, good evening, my dear Prince Siegfried. It is charming of you to come with the princess." "Madam " murmured the prince, while he bowed somewhat stiffly and offered his hostess his finger-tips.
