Thus exasperated, the electors, the pope, and the King of Bohemia, conspired to drive Albert from the throne. Their secret plans were so well laid, and they were so secure of success, that the Elector of Mentz tauntingly and boastingly said to Albert, "I need only sound my hunting-horn and a new emperor will appear."
Afterward he had assisted the janitor of some great skyscraper somewhere Kansas City, I believe and, what was most pleasing to me, he in nowise emphasized these as youthful difficulties or made any comment as to their being "hard."
