Cars army. head of a Guards regiment
at St Petersburg and a prince in his own
right His wife would be princess. The
Euptials were being planned when he
lost his heart to a maiden of the middle
class, Sophie by name. Disregardng the
power OF his betrothed's family he broke
his pledge and married Sophie, raising
her to the rank of princess.
But he was to hold his own position
only a short while longer. His affianceds
relatives belonged to the military clique,
as did most of the nobility before the
revolution. He was dispatched to the
Caucasus. His plea to remain with his
young wife or to have her follow him
awaited nothing. He went quietly, hoping
that obedience would gain him permits
sion to join his bride when their baby
would be born. But he was ordered even
further into the mountainous parts Of

wife, for their letters were intercepted
