The count of Salemni is the only

in disgrace for several years, though

Naval college he committed some
youthful irdiscretion, of which even
his fellow cadets had but a vague idea,
and the king sent him into exile.
For several years he wandered
through Europe, spending months in
Russia, the Balkans, Portugal and
Spain. Always shy and retiring, never
knowing what to do with his great
stature and his hands, a splendid lin

a favorite in Russian society.
