“It was summer, and the Rosenau country home of the Dukes of Coburg might have been an enchanted palace set against the background of the deep pine forests and the vivid blue sky. There was color everywhere—color in the grass where the chicory flowers grew, in the petunias glowing in pots against the gray castle walls,”
