Nolan would not have read a letter, but he looked upon telegrams as public documents, the reading of them as part of his perquisites. This one was addressed to Oscar Von Holtz, First Secretary, German Embassy, Washington, D.C., and the message read: "Please telegraph me full title and address Princess Aline of Hohenwald. Where would a letter reach her?
Then Carlton opened the paper again and propped it up against a carafe, and continued his critical survey of the Princess Aline. He seized the Almanach, when it came, with some eagerness.

"She's probably engaged to one of those Johnnies beside her, and the Grand-Duke of Hohenwald behind her must be her brother."
