Immediately on her return to Doorn the prince hurriedly left his island of. exile and hastened to his father's house. He spent much time in con- | versation with his step-mother, walk- |ing in the grouads with her while his father was out walking with the | | princess’ children. It is reported that after last visiting ! her own estates the Princess Hermine | travelled to Berlin in a closed com- | partment and left the train heavily veiled and muffled. She later visited everal of the state officials.
