The Crescent and the Cross for the first time overshadowed worshippers joining in one common prayer. The empress appeared, leaning on the arm of the Emperor of Austria. She wore a short pale gray silk, with deep white Brussels lace arranged in paniers and flounces.
"Heirs-apparent usually have some sort of a bodyguard, don't they?" Sprouse was staring thoughtfully at the ceiling. He either did not hear the remark or considered it unworthy of notice.
