Suddenly Hanf himself was created baron by Mich
olas, in consideration of the son.n-aw's services
The new noble forthwith had an inscription attach
ed to the front of his dwelling, from which he remov-
ed his business, tit had till then been carried on
there j the inscription ran thus House of the Bar
on Hanf.' One day two officers called at Todtlebens
and asked WAS Madame at home q entering before
the maid,servant knew what to reply. The wife
happened to be coming down stairs at the moment
the officers bowed low, and one of them said, 'Ex
cuse our visit it is to beg you to tell your husband
that the Grand Duke Constantine, and my brother
here the Grand Duke Nicholas, could not leave the
capital without offering respects and congratu-
latlons to his wife, They then withdrew. When
the father-in-law heard this said he, daughter,
love you still better for the sake of Todtleben."
