Secret Life of the Kaiser From Birth to Exile - From the Private Papers and Diaries of the Baroness Von Larisch-Reddern of the Imperial Household #245788

I had once spent half a day with the Kaiser when acting as assistant to Mr. Russel, the famous London photographer, who went to Berlin to take the Kaiser's picture for the Marine exhibition; as Berlin correspond ent for English, French and American newspapers. I had had the Kaiser under less close observation time and again. I had read all the books, magazine and newspaper articles and pamphlets printed about William; I had talked to dozens of people supposed to be in the inner circle of his confidence, masters and mistresses of court gossip; I had a thousand scandals connected with the Berlin court at my fingers' ends but the sayings of the Baroness took my breath away.
