The Death of Grigory Rasputon

Felix usipov says he went to dinner with a british officer and fielded phone calls from friends who were rushing to congratulate him. After all, no authority below the czar could touch him. Not far off, though, the news was landing very differently in a different palace. Like she did so many other times, alexandra put pen to paper and wrote to nicholas. She told him what she knew, that grigory was missing, that pris vitch was crowing about killing rasputon.
