Grand Duke Alexander and the Russian Princes Abroad
A fragment from a 1910s era reminiscence describes Russians in exile and the allure of fake nobility. It notes how restaurant men and waitresses adopt titles, and how English observers view Russian princes as impostors. The narrator mocks pretensions and recalls exchanges with an American audience about authenticity.
