AWKWARDNESS Or OLD GENERALS.—But perhaps
Gen. Knollys was among those generals upon whom I
once heard the Iron Duke expend one of his unexpected
pleasantries. It was an adventure at Buckingham Palace.
The Queen was on her tiarone—the Prince Consort stood
beside her; the great officers of State were ranged around.
The knights, in their gorgeous robes, had retired from the
throne-room, and again the mirrored doors " swung open
wide," and the heralds, in their tabards of cloth-of-gold,.
entered, booing with all the humility as they escorted
of 1
general after general up to the footstool of her Majestd.y.
Feebly did those venerable old warriors advance, wa
slowly and awkwardly did they retire, each man trading
upon his long robes, or slipping and tripping upon tl
nce
ie
smooth Indian matting, as he backed out of the prese,
Their retreat was not much accelerated when out spakeow
the Iron Duke as he stood near the throne, H
badly her Majesty's generals walk backwards !" Per-
haps no other man in the realm could have made such an
observation at such a time, and have been rewarded, as
that good old man was, with his Sovereign's smile.—
