When I was in Belgrade in the autumn of 1902, 1 sifted many stories about the Queen and cross-examined their authors. Some com- plained that she had been unduly intimate with the King before marriage; but others reproached her for craft in withholding her favours until she had thereby secured her crown. Others alleged that she had always been catholic in her affections, but the only evidence was that of boastful men, who posed as universal conquerors, and even this was mere rumour or hearsay. O...ne braggart was particularly quoted, but I learned that his utmost pretension amounted to an exchange of kisses in one of the parlour games which are universal at evening parties in Belgrade. He had jested about a Queen's kisses much as a schoolboy once announced that he had kicked the future King of Spain. There was not sufficient proof against the Queen to con- demn a dog, and it is easy to understand the King's anger when irresponsible busybodies warned him against her character at the time of their betrothal.
