So the child who was to have been such
great things never had any title or empire or
fortune OF anything else. lIe was a kind of
hanger on at the court of his grandfather, and
nobody cared much for him or showed him
any particular respect. He who had been so
beautiful child became pale, serious

son, and that he was quite helpless to do any
thing worthy of the name. He did not know
what to do with himself, and that, perhaps,
was the reason he did not live long. He said

that is my whole history" One would think,
with all the work there is to do in the world,
that he might have found some way to be Of
use, but he did not. He died at Schonbrunn,
one of the Austrian royal palaces, near
Vienna, when he was II. Nobody seemed to
