Elisabeth of Roumania: A Study, with Two Tales from the German of Carmen Sylva, Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Elisabeth of Roumania: A Study, With Two Tales From the German of Carmen Sylva, Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth
On their arrival in Bucharest, the Queen desired to form her household, and naturally, of those national elements which presented themselves also to arrange for Drawing Rooms, receptions and various State functions expected by the people and necessary to any Royalty's State.
After much looking about, the most intuitive appreciation of humanity as she found it - after long and ardent counsels with Prince, ministry, and social personages, it was decided to admit to the Drawing Rooms, &c., every lady who had not been divorced more than once; and the difficulties of the situation thus presented to this puritanical Princess, brought up in tenderest years as the word puritanical suggests, may readily be imagined.
There was, however, a humorous side to all this which the poet-queen saw, and, as one not so comical.
