Royalty in exile and scandal from Vienna court
An account recalling Archduke John Orth and Rudolph of Austria through memoir echoes. It portrays royal tyranny, elopements at Meyerling, brutalities against Princesses, and escapes from constrained royal life. The narrator, a Viennese court insider, cites revolts, later life as a plain citizen, and global flight, ending with a plea for a South Carolina orphanage work day.
