Summary/Abstract: But – what the most strenuous effort can’t achieve, mere chance can. I had some work to do at a county court. My job was prolonged from day to day – and almost every day at the registry, at the table of the chief clerk in charge of enforcement, I heard the name of Baron Dobrojević. Of course I asked what was the matter with that name. So I found there had been countless enforcements against a young man, Baron Dobrojevć-Löwenburg, without any profession, who lived a very prodigal life, without any moveable or immovable possessions, but who bragged that his father was a noble. “And indeed – he was a great gentleman!” – confirmed the scribes and messengers, showing an obituary note much the same as the one I mentioned before.
