To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No account of the emperor's private life can be properly writtenwithout including a brief sketch of General Count von Hahnke, and ofBaron von Lucanus. The former is the chief of the military cabinet ofthe emperor, and the other is at the head of his civil cabinet, thatis to say, he occupies the post of principal private secretary. Bothof them accompany the emperor wherever he goes, and in fact constitutehis very shadow, enjoying by reason of their proximity to thesovereign, and by their close a...ssociation with him, a far greaterdegree of power and influence than any cabinet minister. Baron Lucanus is an extremely good-looking man, whose popular nicknameat Berlin, namely, "the emperor's Blackie Man, " is in nowise due toany swarthiness of complexion, but to the fact that among the greatdignitaries in attendance on the emperor, he is the only one incivilian attire, while moreover he is invariably selected by thesovereign to convey to any cabinet minister, whose resignation isrequired, the imperial intimation "_that he has ceased to please_.
