Extract

Goschen and his wife spent most of the early months of 1908 in Vienna. From 29 March to 1 April he stayed at Berzencze, Count Festetics' property in western Hungary. From 8 to 14 May he was in Budapest. From 22 to 25 May he and Hosta were at Tentschach. He spent the last days of June and the first days of July at Keszthely, another Festetics property in Hungary. At the end of July he and Hosta went to Denmark for the wedding of their elder son, after which they paid a visit to King Haakon VII and Queen Maud of Norway. On 12 August, at Attnang, Goschen boarded Edward VII's train, which was bound for Ischl, and was informed of his appointment as Ambassador in Berlin. The usual ‘season’ at Marienbad followed, after which the Goschens spent some time at Tentschach. Goschen was in Budapest at the beginning of October. He and Hosta left Vienna for Berlin on 7 November. On 12 December they left for London.
