imperial-russia:Princess Vera Konstantinovna the YoungerOn [one] occasion, Princess Vera recalled being entrusted to carry a message from her father to the Emperor. In the way of children, she created a drama around the short trip, involving being pursued by enemy soldiers intent on taking the message from her. She forced her small pony to greater and greater speeds, weaving in and out and around the trees and lakes in the park between Pavlovsk and the Alexander Palace.
