About this book
Memories of the Kaiser's Court is by Anne Topham, with eight illustrations. A caption reads The German Emperor in English Admiral's Uniform. The narrator says that both children begin talking volubly in German to the Empress, the little girl, as far as the narrator's limited knowledge permits judging, emphatically contradicting every word her brother says.
The narrator says a dictionary shows that zanken is a German verb meaning "to wrangle" and "to dispute acrimoniously". A passage says the Fatherland is rich in numerous prolific princely families, quite unremarkable for wealth or extent of territory, some of them conspicuously poverty-stricken, but all classed as ebenbürtig, that is equal in birth, to royalty. The narrator names the first royal Verlobung that took place within range of the narrator's cognizance as that of the young Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, son of the Duchess of Albany.
