CHAPTER LII
PRINCE GEORGE REVEALS TO ME THE DEPTH OF HIS HATRED
A terrible interview—"The devil will come to claim you"—Uncertain how much the King and Prince George know—I break into the nursery and stay with my children all day—Prince George insults me in my own rooms and threatens prison if I disobey him.
Pillnitz, May 23, 1901.
I caught Prince George in the park after laying in wait for him three long hours.
"Why does Your Royal Highness forbid me to see my children?" I demanded, every nerve aquiver.
"His Majesty's orders. He thinks you are not fit company for growing children. You are leading a godless life."
"What does Your Royal Highness mean?"
"What I said. A godless life, such as you entered upon, is an invitation to the devil. Sins are the devil's envoys. When you are black with sin, the devil himself will come to claim you."
