not do when in office are done by the
uncroWned king when ont. Most of all,
Pashitsch runs King Peter. To despise,
govern and command Peter is Pashitsch s
Joy. He despises Peter not because Peter
is weak, but because at heart Peter. the
Cd fighter of 20. the volunteer of 10,
is an adventurous imaginative old man
with no brains for intriguing. and the
subtle Pashitsch feels toward him the
contempt which the fox feels for the
ion. Peter hates Pashitsch Pashitsch
thwarts and snubs Peter. When Peter
set to rebuilding his "konak in the
Milan tlica, he dearly wanted the street
which separates it from the ministry OF

commented Pashitsch, brutally. after the
murder of your majestys predecessor

PashitsCh is Servia'S vainest man His
solemn mien and venerable beard hide
an exalted conceit and the concet is
we'll justified. Firstly. because Pashitsch
always comes out on top, and all modest
men go under. Secondly because
Pashitschs conceit is leavened with true
patriotism. Pashitsch's vanity has i'm
proved Servia's relations with the pow

Ministers resident at Belgrade treated
foreign office officials as their lackeys.
When Austrian ENJOYS wanted to see
Servia s foreign minister they used to
send for him. Pashitsch put a stop to
that.
When In 1909 the Austrian ministe er
telephoned that he would be pleased to
have a call from the foreign minister
