But, remember, if you appeal to the sword it shall be with you as it was with Alexander Romanoff and the Russian force which invaded England. We have annihilated the army to a man, and exiled the Autocrat for life. Choose now, peace or war, and let those who would choose war with you take their stand beside you, and we will fight another Armageddon!"
"After all," said Adna one day, looking up from an article in a Sunday paper "after all, why ain't Thropp as likely a name as Wettin? Or Hohenzollern? And what was Romanoff but an ordinary family once?" The only thing that seemed to stand in Kedzie's way was the odious name of Dyckman. "What's Dyckman, anyway?" said Mrs. Thropp. "Nothin' but a common old Dutch name."
Within these walls lived and died the old dynasties of the Romanoff and Ruric; and this is the same palace which has been so often stained with blood by the intrigues of a ferocious court, at a period when all quarrels were settled with the poniard. His Majesty could not obtain there even a few hours of quiet sleep.
As they did so Rasputin, apparently unconscious of their presence, cried in a loud voice: "O God! in Thy gracious bounty give unto our Imperial House of Romanoff a son one who shall in due time wear the glorious crown of the Tsars and become the Sovereign Defender of All the Russias against our enemies.

He never travelled without it.
Then, with a thrill of wonder, he understood that the man before him had the superb audacity thus openly to rebuke his Emperor. Certainly Gregoriev's suggestion was no empty threat. Nicholas Romanoff actually waited something more than an hour for the arrival of the Moscow police official.
As the concrete humanity, so single nations have epochs of gestation, and epochs of normal activity, of growth, of full life, of manhood. Americans are now in the stage of manhood. Col. Romanoff, of the Russian military engineer corps, who was in the Crimean war, saw here the men and the army, saw and conversed with the generals. Col.
Nearly all of them were hopelessly ignorant, likely material for a fiery tongued orator and plausible propagandist. They thought the Americans were supporting the British in an invasion of Russia to suppress all democratic government, and to return a Romanoff to the throne.
