...harem's boom days (16th Century) the Chief Black Eunuch bossed some 600 to 800 of his kind; the Sultan Validé headed 1,200 women. Of these the Sultan legally married only four, but might go a-roving among the other 1,196. To pass the time, the women-in-waiting sometimes amused themselves with the eunuchs (who were of three types), sometimes with each other. Palace plots were common, and occasionally the Sultan cleared the atmosphere by wholesale drowning. That at least one of these occurrences was of fairly recent date is indicated by the story...

...where it will go, with no hard feelings between the diplomatic professionals. They have simply tried to end the insanity of the British Constitutional Democratic Monarchy having ever found itself in a quarrel with the Italian Fascist Corporative Monarchy-these two being "natural friends," with endless common interests, few valid points of friction...
