"It will certainly be a very magnificent festival, as we are invited so many days in advance. How sad that I cannot have the pleasure of being present!" "And why not, if one may be allowed to ask, princess?" asked Woronzow. "Why?" sighed Elizabeth.
The central house, occupied by the superintendent, is fronted by a clock over the Royal Arms. By the will of Simon, Count Woronzow, dated September 19, 1827, the sum of £500 was left for the poor of the parish of Marylebone, and this sum was given by the Vestry, under certain conditions, to the committee for the proposed erection of almshouses in 1836, to be by them applied to building purposes.
My destiny is so cruel, I am so tormented. Why must I be an empress?" "That you may be no nun," laconically responded Lestocq. "And to become the greatest and loftiest woman in the world!" said Woronzow. "To raise to your own elevation the man you love," whispered Alexis. With a glance of tenderness, Elizabeth nodded to him. "Yes," said she, "for your sake, my Alexis, I will become an empress!
"What is it, Woronzow?" asked the princess, while, wholly unembarrassed by the presence of the lackey, she played with the profuse dark locks of the kneeling Razumovsky. "An invitation from the Regent Anna to a court-ball, which is to take place fourteen days hence," said Woronzow. "Ah, our good cousin is, then, so gracious as to remember us," cried the princess, with a somewhat clouded brow.
Rubelle was appointed lady of honor to her when queen of Westphalia, and was meaningly questioned, "Are all the American ladies as beautiful as yourself?" Prince Woronzow said of these rival wives, "Je suis amoureux des deux reines de Westphalie." On her arrival in France the princess of Würtemberg halted at Raincy to meet Prince Jerome, "who had sworn to me," says Mme.
I also went to luncheon on board the flagship "Victoria," a three-decker, which put me in mind of olden times. SPEZIA, 12th May, 1863. How happy your last letter has made me, my dearest Woronzow, to hear that you are making real progress, and that you begin to feel better from the Bath waters.... Of your general health I had the very best account this morning from your friend Colonel Gordon.
The charm of the conversation is only equalled by its variety every subject Sir John touches turns to doubly refined gold; profound, brilliant, amiable, and highly poetical, I could never end admiring and praising him. Then the children are so nice and he so kind and amusing to them, making them quite his friends and companions. Yours, my dearest Woronzow, Most affectionately, M. SOMERVILLE.
Elizabeth examined and admired all; she clapped her hands with delight when any one of these precious presents especially pleased her, calling Alexis, Grunstein, and Woronzow to share her joy and admiration.
While the guards were doing homage in the palace, Grunstein and Woronzow, by Lestocq's command, led their men to Munnich's and Ostermann's, and both were imprisoned; with them, a great number of leading and suspected persons, who, perhaps, might have been disposed to draw the sword for Anna Leopoldowna.
I often think of more than "60 years ago," when I used to scramble over the Bin at Burntisland after our tods-tails and leddies-fingers, but I fear there is hardly a wild spot existing now in the lowlands of Scotland.... God bless you, my dearest Woronzow. SPEZIA, 27th Sept., 1865. I fear Agnes and you must have thought your old mother had gone mad when you read M.'s letter.
