That night, in accordance with my instructions, I sat in the Emperor's box with the Crown-Prince, Tresternitz, and two personal-adjutants, and, recognizing the Countess von Leutenberg in a box opposite, accompanied by an elderly lady, I took the Crown-Prince round, and there presented her to him, greatly to her surprise and undisguised delight.

We may not get home before morning, and we might meet some one of the adjutants when we come back.

We adjutants about the palace are not much given to self-abasement of any sort.
