...today is a far different creature from the man who deferentially greeted President von Hindenburg in January 1933 when the old Field Marshal reluctantly accepted him as Chancellor.

In Lisbon waited the foppish, oily, hand-kissing familiar of Madame Lupescu, M. Ernest Urdarianu who served Carol in Bucharest as Grand Chamberlain. Out of rebuilding Bucharest the King, Lupescu and Urdarianu reputedly cleaned up a king's ransom, and in Bucha rest there is some demand that at least Lupescu and Urdarianu be hanged...
