All we do is dream of England. We have been very happy there.

England will not accept you.

Won't accept? King George is my cousin!

He does not seem to want you, either. He has got his own station to worry about.

Yes, I must not make trouble for...

Neither will the French. They are at war to save liberty. You were an autocrat.

Damn it! I am a father with a family! Is there not any way? How about Finland? It is only thirty miles away!

I would never get you out of Saint Petersburg alive. Are you aware that I am all that stands between you and the block? You will be safe under my administration, you have my promise on that. There is blood enough on everybody's hands; I will not have yours on mine. A fine mess Russia in in. Treasury is empty. The Radicals want this, the Socialists want that, the Kadets want the other thing. The Bolsheviks want this, the Mensheviks want that. I could not throw them in jail even if I wanted to! You had power but no laws; I have laws but no power.

I wish I could help.

You had your chances. I sure hope I get mine.
