Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Years in Vienna: August, 1907 August, 1914; A Record of Intrigue It was mid-August in 1907. King Edward of England, who had been undergoing a "cure" at Marienbad, was expected at Ischl, where the Austrian Court was in residence. The whole place was hung with flags that were put up at the last moment, as the "Gem of the Salzkammergut," as Ischl is often called, is one of the wettest spots in the country. The local trains brought large numbers of peasants, in their picturesque costume, who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of seeing the King of England. Other "peasants," in badly-fitting costumes, also came down in the Vienna night express. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
