The only men admitted were , however , her servants , her physician and chaplain ; and one day when she wished to go into the garden , a heyduc , who kept the door , intimated to her Highness that the Prince 's orders were that she should keep her apartments . ` They abut , as you remember , upon the landing of the marble staircase of Schloss X -- ; the entrance to Prince Victor 's suite of rooms being opposite the Princess 's on the same landing . This space is large , filled with sofas and benches , and the gentlemen and officers who waited upon the Duke used to make a sort of antechamber of the landing-place , and pay their court to his Highness there , as he passed out , at eleven o'clock , to parade . At such a time , the heyducs within the Princess 's suite of rooms used to turn out with their halberts and present to Prince Victor -- the same ceremony being performed on his own side , when pages came out and announced the approach of his Highness . The pages used to come out and say , `` The Prince , gentlemen ! '' and the drums beat in the hall , and the gentlemen rose , who were waiting on the benches that ran along the balustrade .
