In this case- Ladies-in-Wading, were summoned to Get the dying Czarina out of the tub, get her dressed- and call the Court Chaplain, etc. the speaking tubes were very busy that night. I am sure Major Gregory Potemkin had his hands full- ( Get Cathy out of the tub and dry her off and get her clothes on!- IKGB- on the double - watch nobody gets out of the Bath room. oh boy.
