Nightly visit by six armed ladies and a royal order
A sensational Russian scene unfolds as Prince Monomoff wakes to a dawn visit by the chief of police and six veiled “ladies” armed with birch rods. They enter to deliver a rose colored billet doux promising secrecy and one kiss one word followed by a hundred rods. The police depart with a secret kept but the tale spreads worldwide. A second anecdote from the New York Journal recalls a Birmingham to Holyhead night train prank where a man feigns madness to calm a railcar intruder and avoids public flogging by private, sly deception.
