This is an article I found about Franz Joseph and I:


Secret Footpath Between Two Lovers
July 2, 1892
There are rumors that the villa of Kaiser Franz Joseph has been connected with the villa of Katharina Schratt. When the emperor goes to Katharina Schratt’s early in the morning to eat breakfast with her, police agents guard the path to ensure that curious people do not disturb them. The emperor met the beautiful Katharina Schratt at a theater performance in Vienna. There are also rumors that the emperor’s wife, Elizabeth, approves of the relationship. Katharina Schratt is married to Baron Nikolaus Kiss de Itebe. Katharina Schratt has been a royal actress since 1887. Empress Elisabeth Elizabeth is also supposedly aware of the secret connection between the two villas. (found at: http://project1.caryacademy.org/TurnofCentury/WnGossip.htm)



Uh-oh, I think think they're on to us.

This is Franz Joseph and I taking a stroll.
This is Franz Joseph. He was a great reason why I was famous. Franz Joseph and I claimed to be very good friends but we were actually lovers. Franz Joseph was the emperor of Austria and he was married to Empress Elizabeth (also known as Sisi). Sisi promoted our relationship because she was never home.
