Description
Excerpt from Memories of the Kaiser's Court
Thither I had been summoned, to join it in the capacity of resident English teacher to the young nine-year-old Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, only daughter of the Emperor and Empress of Germany.
A stormy night-passage of eight hours on the North Sea, followed by a long train-journey through sti?ing heat lasting till five o'clock in the afternoon, naturally affects any one's spiritual buoyancy, and it was with a distinct feeling of depression that I at last descended from the train on to the platform of Homburg station.
