At the Emperor's

"At noon the next day, I was with the Emperor. It was exactly as I had imagined. I cannot imagine that I would play a good role as an aide-de-camp, and therefore admire Count Dohna for how he manages to do so, as I feel he is just as predisposed as I am. The Emperor conversed with me for about half an hour after lunch; the conversation was very one-sided. The topic of conversation was anti-aircraft guns."
