Excerpt from The Princess Margarethe Presently a few persons began to appear on the streets. They hastened to the great square in the centre of the city, where the people always assembled on notable occa sions. All were in holiday dress. They gathered together in knots and tried to con verse, but when they found they could not be understood they made signs to one another wildly. After a few minutes the clanging ceased. As soon as their voices could be heard the people cheered noisily, and chattered away as fast as they could speak. Long live King Rudolph and the good Queen Louisa! They cried; and the cry was repeated many times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
