...doing so. Ever since Hyderabad stood aloof from the great Indian Mutiny of 1857, its Royal Family have been accorded by British Royalty special honors and the Nizam now has the official status of "Faithful Ally." This gracefully implies that his exalted highness is not so much the inferior as the colleague of His Majesty the Emperor of India - and, during the World War, the dry, grave "Richest Man in the World" contributed to Britain some $100,000,000 cash plus untold supplies and Hyderabad army units...

The Dutch pastor, having performed the marriage with the usual Dutch exchange of rings, remarked to the new Prince Consort of The Netherlands, "I may now address you as Your Royal Highness." Amid cheers which made the whole city of The Hague bedlam, the wedding procession wound its way amid Dutch ohs and ahs at the brilliant cavalcade.
