Hooded Prince. Angry figures emerged from the damaged Alfa. Waving pistols, they threatened to fire unless the prince got out of the car. Unimpressed by the threat, Alfredo slammed the Fiat into reverse-only to smash into a second Alfa that the kidnapers had brought along as their backup car. Finally, two of the gunmen forced the prince into the less damaged of the two Alfas. Although he was hooded, D'Angerio could tell that they were going too fast, and he yelled at them to slow down.

But that didn't stop him from greeting Wilson as the savior of the proletariat the world over, the man who was going to maintain old-fashioned American democratic ideals and smash "the Hohenzollern Hog".
