Excerpt from Seven Years at the Prussian Court I 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.
