Grand Duchess Tatiana,

"...Yesterday we went for a walk to Pavlovsk with Isa [Baroness Buxhoevden] and were surprised to meet very few people there. It turned out that at a great distance in front of us and behind us there walked 'yellow people' and said to everyone they met: 'Grand Princesses have come out for a walk, it's better not to be in the way.' Such idiots always spoil things by trying to do something too hard. It's dull to walk in the garden without you and we thought it would be more fun to go to town." ~ Tatiana Nikolaievna in a letter to her father
