[Prince Otto by Robert Louis Stevenson]@TWC D-Link bookPrince Otto CHAPTER III--THE PRINCE AND THE ENGLISH TRAVELLER 4/15
But the sketch is most imperfect.
I shall now have much to add. I can say that the Prince, whom I had accused of idleness, is zealous in the department of police, taking upon himself those duties that are most distasteful.
I shall be able to relate the burlesque incident of my arrest, and the singular interview with which you honour me at present. For the rest, I have already communicated with my Ambassador at Vienna; and unless you propose to murder me, I shall be at liberty, whether you please or not, within the week.
For I hardly fancy the future empire of Grunewald is yet ripe to go to war with England.
I conceive I am a little more than quits.
