No Speeches, Please
While inspecting St. George’s Church, in Nördlingen, the Crown Prince praised the splendor and size of it. He was told that the Catholic Church in Dinkelsbühl was even larger and more beautiful, and he decided to visit that also. The burgomaster at Dinkelsbühl was notified by a telegram, so the city fathers awaited the Crown Prince. When he arrived, the burgomaster advanced to make a speech, but the Crown Prince declined to listen, saying: “Let me tell you something; we two will make a compact. You promise not to say anything, and I’ll do the same.”
