When | started for Berlin, or rather
when Prince Hohenlohe had encouraged

your Righness think the Chancellor
will grant me an audience? In the
first place, | am very anxious to know
a statesman who is the great historical
figure of the second half of the nine
teenth century. Moreover. to go to
Berlin without seeing Prince Bismarck
is like going TO Rome without seeing
the Pope. 1t would be modification
for me-"
Prince Hohenlohe. who is the most
perfect gentleman | know, and has
great diplomatic fneSSe, but does not
employ it in his private relations, es-
pecially when he meets any one who
trusts him, replied that he could
pledge himself to nothing on that
point. "All l can promise you," he
said, lis that will do my utmost for
your having an audience, but do not

collected at Berlin, and the leading
personages had all asked to see him.
