Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Louise Mühlbach: Frederick the Great and His Court
The palace glittered with light and splendor; the ser vants ran here and there, arranging the sofas and chairs; the court gardener cast a searching glance at the groups of ?owers which he had placed in the saloons; and the major domo superintended the tables in the picture gal lery. The guests of the queen will enjoy to-night a rich and costly feast. Every thing wore the gay and festive appearance which, in the good old times, the king's palace in Berlin had been wont to exhibit. Jesting and merry making were the order of the day, and even the busy ser vants were good-humored and smiling, knowing that this evening there was no danger of blows and kicks, of fierce threats and trembling terror. Happily the king could not appear at this ball, which he had commanded Sophia to give to the court and nobility of Berlin.
