Emperor in seclusion at Reichstadt described in detail
An eightieth year old emperor in seclusion at Hradschin Hungary is profiled by a Timor correspondent. He is frail yet musical fond of Strauss, walks in a Bath chair, and sometimes shares meals with poor cottagers. Despite temper bursts he remains affable and venerated. The writer notes no Vienna visits since abdication.
