AMUSING ANECDOTE OF THE is stated
that on! one occasion, %lien on a visit to Wentworth
House, the Royal party were perambulating the
grounds, when, being in advance of the rest, the
Princess Victoria was respectfully cautioned by an
under gardener not to go down a certain walk, as the
rain had made the ground " slape." "SlaPe ! slape !"
retorted the Princess, with the characteristic ra-
pidity and inquisitiveness of her illustriouS grand.
father, George III.;" " and pray what is slape ?"
" Very slippery, Miss—your Royal Highness—Ma'am
replied the worthy man. " Oh! that's all," she rejoined;
" thank you !" and, as she proceeded, resolved to
try this " slape" ground against which she had.
been cautioned ; but she had not proceeded far when
the gardener's predictions were realised, and down she
fell. " There !" shouted the noble owner of the
grounds, who had observed all that had passed from a
short distance, and who, on perceiving that no injury
was done to his noble and young guest, laughed most
heartily; "now your Royal llighness has received an
explanation of the term 'slape,' both theoretically and
practically !" " Yes my Lord," rejoined the good-
humoured Victoria, "I think I have. 1 shall never forget
the word 'slave.' "—Fraser's Magazine.
