Helps, A: Ivan De Biron, Vol. 2 of 3

Excerpt from Ivan De Biron, Vol. 2 of 3: Or the Russian Court in the Middle of Last CenturyIvan lingered about the gates of the palace, watching his Opportunity, until at last he saw an aged groom of the chambers whom he had known in his palmy days.. The man was, at first, by no means inclined to renew the acquaintance; but when Ivan told him that he had been recalled from exile by the orders of the Duchess Regent, and that he wished to have an opportunity of expressing his gratitude, this groom of the chambers thought it as well to be on good terms with a person who had been so favoured, and he consented to take the message with which Ivan sought to entrust him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
