Note Footnote 41: — Chapter XXIX
Reading edition
It is such a pleasure to see good Philip here, and the two Portuguese cousins. Juan41 is very nice, but he does not talk much; he has a very fine, tall figure, and is nice-looking. I should think he must be like his father. Prince Hohenzollern 42 is become Royal Highness, and the title is to descend to his eldest son. Half Europe is here, and one sees the funniest combinations in the world. It is like a happy family shut up in a cage! The Italian Ambassador sat near Cardinal Geisel, and the French one opposite the Archduke. The Grand Duke Nicolas is here—he is so nice—also the Crown Prince of Würtemberg,43 Crown Prince of Saxony,44 Prince Luitpold of Bavaria,45 Prince Charles of Hesse46 (who nearly dies of fright and shyness amongst so many people), and Heinrich; Prince Elimar of Oldenburg,47 Prince Frederic of the Netherlands,48 and the Grand Duke and Duchess of Weimar, who wish to be most particularly remembered to you and Papa.
