[Footnote 77: Cf. _Ex-King Nicholas of Montenegro and his Court_ (Collection of eighteen original documents in facsimile). Sarajevo, 1919. "This collection of documents," says the _Times_ (April 15, 1920), "goes far to dethrone the last of the Petrovich dynasty from his once picturesque position in the sympathies of Western admirers. Criticism directed against him during the Balkan wars fell on deaf ears; and the censorship to a great extent prevented the man in the street from realizing during the late War that an Allied Monarch was suspected of 'not playing the game.'" Mr. Ronald M'Neill, M.P., who loved to dance in front of Nicholas, informs us (in the _Nineteenth Century and After_, for January 1921) that "so far as the present writer has been able, after diligent endeavour, to discover, there never was any evidence whatever for the Serbian legend that King Nicholas was at any time during the War untrue to the Allied cause."] [Footnote 78: Cf. _Macedonia_, by H.
