Let me tell you, young man, only one American--only one foreigner, in fact--has accomplished that miracle.

Mr.Lorry came here ten years ago and won the fairest flower Graustark ever produced-the beautiful Yetive--but he was the only one.

I suppose you are surprised to find Graustark a solid, prosperous, God-fearing little country, whose people are wise and happy and loyal.

You have learned, by this time, that we have no princesses for you to protect.

It isn't as it was when Mr.Lorry came and found Her Serene Highness in mediaeval difficulties.
