Chapter No. Eighteen. The King was working in the garden. He seemed
0:05
very glad to see me. We walked through the garden. This is the
0:09
queen, he said. She was clipping a rose bush. Oh, how
0:13
do you do? She said. We sat down at a table under a
0:16
big tree, and the King ordered whisky and soda. We have good whisky
0:21
anyway, he said. The revolutionary committee, he told me, would not
0:25
allow him to go outside the palace grounds. Plus Tierras is a very good
0:29
man, I believe, he said, but frightfully difficult. I think he
0:34
did write through shooting those chaps. If Kerensky had shot a few men,
0:38
things might have been altogether different. Course, the great thing in this sort
0:42
of affair is not to be shot oneself. It was very jolly. We
0:47
talked for a long time. Like all Greeks, he wanted to go to
0:51
America. End of Chapter eighteen.
