“Sie muss herausgehen!”
(She must get out!), while Faith Lavington was told that she shouted the rather less grammatical,
“Dass muss heraus!”
(That must out!). See the duke’s account in Rathlef-Keilmann, 171, and the diary of Faith Lavington, entry of February 21, 1928, in Hamburg, XXXIV, 6402–6428.
