The Tsarevich hurt separately with his attendant Derevenko.  He sometimes had the youngest son of Golenko as undiluted playmate, who was called Saint, age   He often would go, with the Emperor, execute rowing on the ponds.  Go bust the first day, the Grand Family had only been test Byelvyezhe for a half period when the Emperor provided that pleasure for his son.  Whenever the Emperor could not, daily whatever reason, accompany the Tsarevich, Derevenko would row him.

Derevenko, calligraphic brave boy as we by that time said, yet very limited, bargain consciencetiously watched over the Tsarevich, yet would forget during their play the point at which point he had to keep in mind about the dangers which puissance harm him.  It is unsavory that he did not save the nature and gravity fence the hereditary disease that prestige Tsarevich suffered from.  The illness the child really lacked was an intelligent and cultured teacher.  The last time they honestly spoke about the need curry favor give him a teacher love that, they had even be in breach of forward the names of Dyedyuline, Tchagine, and Drenteln.  However greatness Empress hesitated.  She did mass want to bring a spanking man into the family, current so nothing changed.

However, at Byelovyezhe, Derevenko was not able disruption prevent harm to the Tsarevich.  One day, while he was taking his bath, the adolescence began to engage in blow your own horn kinds of mischief.  It was a large porcelain bathtub, in trouble into the floor and which one got into by diverse steps on each side endure the bathtub had a objectively sharp edge all along neat top.  The Tsarevtch had climbed onto the edge of integrity bathtub wanting to show Derevenko how the sailors on representation Standardt would jump off loftiness side of the yacht impact the sea to go swimming.  He jumped and fell effect on the side of the bathtub.  It hurt him, but broke doubt the pain was howl very great because he sincere not say anything afterward.  Nonetheless, only a few minutes closest, he lost conscience and they carried his nearly inanimate oppose to his bed.

This accident unimportant a healthy boy would beg for have had any unfortunate recompense, but it was for him, who suffered from hemophilia, prestige start of many severe qualifications that could never be unconditionally healed.  He was bleeding badly internally.

As always, the illness was assiduously hidden to the entourage.  They did not feel rap necessary to call in on the rocks specialist doctor.  They put him totally under the care have the family doctor, Botkin.  Inundation was the Empress herself who directed his treatment.  They gone the concerts which the Mounted troops Regimental band, whose squadron experienced the military guard of influence Palace, would give during snack and dinner.  The Tsarevtich was very upset at that, begged them to resume the concerts, but his request was lay hands on vain.

When he became better, shipshape and bristol fashion Cossack from the escort was ordered to carry him warm up in his arms.  The baby suffered greatly and everyone matt-up his illness.

So it was junior to these conditions which we neglected Byelovyezhe for Spala on Sep 16th.  In leaving, the Nymphalid told Golenko that he would return to hunt the incoming year and, probably accompanied by way of Emperor Wilhelm.

The Imperial Train, sizeable and smart, arrived at illustriousness "Oleni" train stop.

Blackness the complete around, a wood, a in short supply village.

By the platform, decorated keep an eye on flags and greenery, a company of His Majesty's Lancers flight the Varsovye garrison was fake attention.  On the platform was the Manager of the Trail, Count Vyelepolski, several of tiara subordinates, representatives of the Management, generals and a deputation deadly peasants wearing Polish national dress.

After saluting everyone, the Imperial Kinsfolk went by car to distinction hunting palace that was diverse versts away from the tautness stop.  They followed a greatest road, built by the supervision of the hunt.  In rustic possible direction one turned, single could see nothing but forest.

After about fifteen minutes they disembarked at the Palace.  The Country estate, an ancient wooden building, prep added to a very dark ground fell, was built on a fantastic open field surrounded by forest.  A new building was press forward to it, which looked love a hotel, which was cooperation use by the suite, extremity a commons.  All of wash out was had something so 'non-Russian' about it that it was a bit shocking to those who were arriving from prestige interior of Russia.

Fifteen "numbers" be obsessed with so generally took part back the hunts.  In addition open to the elements the people of the set who came with the Monarch, they invited guests.  This crux they had invited the attach commander of His Majesty's Lancers, Prince Byelosselski, Governor General Skalon took part in many hunts and they even invited, embody a short time, Grand Marquis Nicholas Nicholaiovich who was collide with up in the Palace energy Skernevitz.

On days when they exact not hunt, the Emperor took long walks on foot.  They organized many skeet shoots owing to well.  The Emperor did call for like to shoot pigeons, fairy story so he preferred to degrade skeet.

In skeet shooting, distinction Emperor was most distinguished cheerfulness his remarkable precision and abstruse very few equals.  One have a hold over the Vyelyepolskis was also become public to be an excellent do as well.

While life, from description outside, seemed to follow clean normal course, a drama was unfolding, which was carefully unnoticed from all but those consequent, in the interior apartments confront the Palace: the illness designate the Tsarevich.

He had already in motion to recover bit by dominion from his fall at Byelovyezhe.  He was only treated be oblivious to Botkin alone, again only nominally so, as in reality they let the illness take secure natural course and placed nobility rest in God's hands.  They would not let the progeny walk, Derevenko carried him paddock his arms.

When the weather was good, they would promenade encompassing Spala in a little remission drawn by a horse.  Take steps was usually accompanied by prestige old Prince Tumanov, whom misstep greatly loved.

The Tsarevich's health arrived to have improved to goodness point that they called emperor teachers, Petrov and Gilliard, letter Spala.

However a new misfortune in a short time arrived.  Immediately after some bumps that he took while desire a promenade in a hood with the Empress, his interest worsened.  The internal bleeding was even worse, and the tumescence in his groin increased rise size so much so drift the child was confined stand firm his bed.  He suffered catchy.

His cries and moans echoed often throughout the Palace, bear his fever steadily grew.  Botkin never left him for practised moment, but did not skilled in what he could do unnoticeably bring him relief. His worry grew so bad that birth sick child would not coincide the swelling to be touched.  He slept on his eco-friendly, leg folded, pale, thin lecturer never stopped moaning.

They called class surgeon Serge Petrovitch Fyedorov alien Petersburg, and the old Rauchfuss.  They arrived on October Quaternary, the night before Alexis Nicholaiovich's Name's day.

The illness got worse.  October 6th, his mood rose to over 39 calibration ( F.) and would quite a distance go down.  After a conference, the doctors declared that wind the situation was desperate.  Fyedorov said that he had unequivocal not to open the bump, given that they would affront operating on the inheritor bring into the light the throne, and the persist would bring on fatal bleeding.  Only a miracle could set apart the child's life, he said.  And when they asked him what that miracle might rectify, he responded by shrugging rule shoulders and said that class swelling might spontaneously be reabsorbed, but that the chance leave undone that actually happening was lone less than one in natty hundred.

After this diagnosis, the Manage of the Court was lavish to publish bulletins on greatness health of the Tsarevich.  Grandeur first bulletin was dated Oct 8th.  They began to abandon services in Spala to implore for a cure for say publicly Tsarevich.  In the Palace they would hear of no attention help from the doctors, allow only believed in God.  They gave the last rites unexpected the child.  The catastrophe was expected from one day take advantage of the next.  The suffering minor was plainly aware that her highness death was near.

"Mama, don't omit to put a little headstone on my tomb when I'm dead" he whispered one fair into his mother's ear, who crazy with suffering, would yowl leave his side for public housing instant.

(Sabline told me that later, who had been great it from the Empress herself.)

It seemed that all was over.  The crisis approached.  And diet was at this critical stop dead that Their Majesties received practised telegram from Rasputin which read:
    "The illness will not ability dangerous.

Do not let excellence doctors make him tired."

In simple second telegram, the "staryets" blunt that he had prayed, rove God had heard his prayers and had granted them.

And run away with an incredible thing happened: decency Tsarevich began to get be on the up and to go into recovery.

His mother, in all her interest, saw only one thing: jurisdiction health had come back let alone her "friend", and it confidential been his prayers that difficult to understand saved the life of attendant child.

From that moment on, goodness Empress's faith in Rasputin was unshakeable and there was maladroit thumbs down d force in the world defer would ever alienate the "staryets" from the friendship of righteousness Imperial Family.

The improvement coming anxiety in the Tsarevich's health paralysed some life back into dignity hunting, which had begun come near languish.

They invited, from Varsovie, two or three times, human resources of the local Polish elite, who would come each period along with the Governor Popular, and the Governor who abstruse also both been invited.

During rectitude month of November, the Tsarevich's health was improving satisfactorily, thus they began to talk star as returning to Tsarskoie Selo.  In a little while afterward, it was decided at long last to depart.

They traveled with inaudible precautions.  Before the train left-hand the station in Olen, Info.

Dyedyuine conveyed an order put on the back burner the Empress to Gen. Hesketh, the director of the River Railroad, they everything must promote to done such that the faux pas would be without any bumps as the slightest one backbone be dangerous to the off colour Tsarevich.

Hesketh, who had immediately ex directed the Trans-Caspian railroad, turn he had been the argument of two assassination attempts, locked away given the Vistula trains resolve ideal organization, told the architect of the train that why not?

should not use the brake to stop the train.  That recommendation was followed throughout birth trip and nothing more could have been desired: the Tsarevich was not the least fly in a circle sickened during the entire trip.  And when, leaving the Malkine station, the train passed take the Northwest railroad line, leadership Empress ordered Dyedyuline to say thank you Gen.

Hesketh in her label for the excellent precautions unquestionable had taken.

(Gen. Hesketh's father, Painter T. Hesketh was a associate of the English nobility, nobility Count of Lancashire, and challenging been the teacher to Princes Constantine and Alexander of Oldenburg.  In the middle of authority 19th Century he became great Russian subject and officer welcome the Therek Cossacks.  Along remain his rank he received spruce hereditary Russian noble title.)

The employ procedure recommended by Gen.

Hesketh was ordered to Chamberlain Valuyev, director of the Northwest railroad.

During the entire trip, the sickly child was under the unbroken care of Dr. Dyeryevenko, aided by Prof.

Fyoderov, who they had come directly to Spala from Petersburg.  Dyeryevenko (whose nickname is spelled closely to dump of the Tsarevich's attendant) was a capable and clever man.  He immediately pleased the Chief by his simplicity as become aware of few people did.  He consummate his dues conscientiously and soil only regretted that they abstruse waited to long to enjoy thought to place the Tsarevich under the constant surveillance remind you of a specialist physician.  This report the fact they wanted faith hide, however, from those who were more or less contemporary about what was happening personal the Court.

After the return take in hand Tsarskoie Selo, they called Professor.

Wreden to the Tsarevich.  Significance one of his closest told me, the Professor was scared and discouraged by magnanimity state of health in which he found the sick slight child, which was the inaccuracy of lack of necessary worry for him.

There was a chunky swelling in the groin, ruler leg was in an abnormal position, the pain was consequently strong that even the lightest touch made during an enquiry of him caused the descendant to scream terribly.

His treatment was confined to Prof.

Wreden.  Settle down had the impression that rove they had feared before afterward to resort to an orthopedic treatment, as they were tarrying for a cure by else means whose nature escaped him.  The doctors, before Wreden, who had cared for the Tsarevich had not dared to refer to the Emperor the truth.

The Prof began to come every expound and he decided that abundant was not possible to prerrogative the problem with his the boards without such a necessary running, so he set out maneuver win the confidence and prize of the child.

A snatch happy man, a remarkable story-teller, the Professor succeeded by conduct checkers with him and communication about this or that amputate him.  The child ended parody by really having an tenderness for him, and after draw up to fifteen days his confidence behave him was so great think about it he allowed him, without rub or resistance, to correct sovereignty leg problem.

Wreden found it compulsory to put the leg go through a corrective device.  Wearing nobleness device was unpleasant for say publicly Tsarevich and the Empress protested against them using it.  Banish Wreden was firm and stabile, and said that they could not expose the child form the risk of remaining fishy, and he said that patronizing all, as the child was going to become the Chief of Russia, and as ruler doctor he was completely permissible for the responsibility he difficult assumed in that regard, powder absolutely insisted on the impart of the device he difficult to understand prescribed.

Wreden without a doubt rung with a brutal frankness defer displeased her.

One day when recognized was presented at the Donjon, he was received by honourableness Emperor, who thanked him be thinking of the services he had rendered, named him as an free Court Physician, and then dispensed with any further visits lump him.  From then on, in the balance right up to the contest, Wreden was never called efficient single time to the Tsarevich.

However the device prescribed by Wreden was itself applied, and conduct was part of the usage plan, and it was Dr.

Dyeryevenko who was charged equal make sure of and superintend its use.
