...Marienbad last week, the age owner of the Hotel Weimar created Czechoslovak stir by opening the "Royal Suite," last occupied in 1909 by British King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra when they came to "take the waters." Down from its wall came a portrait of bewhiskered Kaiser Franz Josef and up went a photograph of smooth-face Führer Henlein. The new occupant of the Suite was Sudeten Nazi Leader Konrad Henlein who went there to confer with representative of Britain's mediator, Viscount Runciman...

Gustily he spoke of his summer doings. He had conducted in Milan, Naples, had tried to reduce at Marienbad, had peered about Venice for antiques and lace.
