About this book

Long Live the King! is by Mary Roberts Rinehart. The contents list names chapters headed, among others, The Crown Prince Runs Away, The Committee of Ten and Nikky Makes a Promise. Prince Ferdinand William Otto waits in the square for a chance to slip in unobserved, and his august face is streaked with soot.

The Crown Prince says fondly of a dog that he is his, the cleverest dog, who can do all sorts of things. The Archduchess Annunciata says "Put him out," and Ferdinand William Otto protests "He is a gift." The Chancellor goes to the side of a bed and kneels, his lips to the cold, white hand on the counterpane.
