That very same evening Michael met Strogonofi at the Imperial Palace, and told him to what extent the Minister was in his debt, subsequently inform- ing the Emperor of the whole business. The Emperor is reported to have exclaimed that he would rather have in his service able men who stole themselves than men who sufiered others to steal without being aware of it. For Strogonoff's great wealth placed him personally above suspicion. The Minister was in disgrace, and asked for four months' leave o...f absence. " You shall have four years," the Emperor replied. Strogonofi then begged to be appointed Ambassador to Vienna ; but received the crj^tic retort that appointments to such posts were made by the Emperor alone. The Minister then retired to Paris, where he spent his declining years attending courses of lectures, especially on medical subjects. Nevertheless, Michael was as little po{>ular in the army THE QRAND DUKE MICHAEL 231 as his brother, and SchUder writes that when he was ap- pointed chief of the corps of Guards, Nicholas had to restrain the outbursts of passion of his brother.
