"...remote Czarina and the Czar — the ball took on the aspect of a fairy tale. With the first strains of a mazurka, the Grand Duke Michael, the Czar’s younger brother and heir since the Czarevitch had not yet been born, invited me to dance. It was a very different affair from the mazurkas I had learned at Mr. Dodsworth’s class. ‘Never mind,’ he said, when I demurred, ‘I’ll do the steps,’ and he proceeded to cavort around me until I was reminded of the courtship of birds. But he was young and gay and, carried away by the increasing tempo, I — found myself treading the Russian measure with the best. He was killed by the Bolsheviks in 1918".
