...world's newest symphony orchestra has its headquarters in an old yellow palace in Baden, a spa near Vienna where Austrian families take the waters. The building's former tenants were Russian security and counter-espionage agents, and the doors on the upper floors are still heavily padded, having once muffled the sounds of police work. This fact has grim significance for the new tenants, almost all of them refugees from the Russian terror in Hungary.

The King and the elders of his Royal Council, alarmed at Phetsarath's obviously strong ties with Souphanouvong's Communists, began wondering whether it had been wise to give Phetsarath back his yellow umbrella after all, appointed a new Premier to keep the Communists (and Prince Phetsarath) under control...
