Old Fritz and the New Era

CHAPTER IV
18/25

Never during these seventy-one years had the Princess 'Lisbeth', as she was called, dared to leave Stettin.

There she was obliged to amuse herself.

Her concerts and evening entertainments were celebrated.

The second wife of the crown prince of Prussia was Louisa of Hesse-Darmstadt, the mother of Frederick William III.

She died in 1805.] although every one knew of her shameful conduct--knew of her intrigues with lackeys and common soldiers?
Do they not now bow before her, although she is banished to Stettin for her infamous conduct, and lives there a prisoner?
A fine imprisonment that! The whole town is her prison, and when she appears in public every one stands upon the street to salute the crown princess of Prussia.
