BtZ42 Scene 15, pp 122 Miller edition

[Mark Kohut]

As Fowler reminds and which I would never have remembered but for just
rereading SLOW LEARNER, King Yrjo---'a pretender but the true king, for a
very doubtful branch of the family usurped the throne in 1878 during the
intrigues over Bessarabia"--appears as an item of local color in the story
'The Secret Integration"; there he was said to have traded a bucket of
jewels for some Mingeborough property, kept three or perhaps four wives,
and been attended by a seven-foot cavlary officer.
