While we were admiring tha view, we observed • party of
ladies on horseback coming up to the tartar where we
all were standing. The first pony was led by a stout,
handsome fellow in the Highland dress, and we soou
saw that the visitor was the Queen, accompanied by the
two Princesses, Prince Arthur, the Marchioness of Ely,
and an equerry. The royal party soon mixed with the
crowd at the top, admiring the scene from every point of
view. The Queen looked well and perfectly happy. As
she passed to and fro the gentlemen touched their hats. I
lifted my Highland bonnet, and as her Majesty passed I
heard her say to the Billie, 'I wonder who that Scotch
gentleman is l' The Highlander eyed me very keenly,
but he could only report that I wore knickerbockers of a
certain hunting tartan. tthortly afterwards the equerry
came up. 'Pardon me, sir,' he said, ' but her Majesty,
who takes an interest in all around her, requested EUe to
come and ask your name, as she is anxious to know it.'
In reply I said I was Captain —, late of the regi-
ment, and that on one occasion I had the honour of being
on a guard of honour to her Majesty at Balmoral. He
then gave me his name, and went off down hill to satisfy
the Queen's cariosity as to the Highland bonnet and the
tartan. This little incident shows the predilection that
her Majesty has for everything Highland."
