Excerpt from Seven Years at the Prussian CourtI left this country just seven years ago to enter the service of the Princess Frederick Leopold of Prussia, who is sister of the German Empress and sister-in-law of the Duchess of Connaught, and who is thus closely related to the chief reigning houses of Europe.I obtained my situation by answering an advertisement which appeared in one of the London papers for a dresser to a German lady. No more particulars were given in the advertisement. I was at that time in the employment of the late Duchess of Northumberland, and I answered the advertisement in the hope, not so much of bettering myself (for I was very happy with Her Grace), but because I wanted to travel. I had been already to Italy and France, but never to Germany.A few days after I had answered the advertisement I received a letter in reply to mine, asking me to call on a Mrs. Sherenstein at the Hans Crescent Hotel in London.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
