THE QUEEN'S PROGRESS NORTH,

(From Wednesday's Edinburgh Evening Post.)
The royal cavalcade having struck into the great north
road from Queensferry, reached Kirkiands about half-past
one o'clock, and after changing horses, proceeded onwards to
Kinross, where considerable preparations had been made to
welcome the Queen. In various parts of the town were tri-
umphal arches, banners, devices, &c., appropriate to the
joyous occasion. The royal party entered the town a little
after two o'clock, escorted by a party of dragoons, accompa-
nied by the sheriff and a number of country gentlemen. The
royal party then proceeded onwards by the Bridge of Earn,
where the same enthusiastic reception was given to our be-
loved Sovereign, who appeared highly delighted with the
loyal demonstrations of the people, as well as with the
beautiful and romantic scenery ; which she surveyed with
evident emotion.

HER MAJESTY AT DUPPLIN.

Dupplin Castle commands one of the best views of the
valley of the Earn, both to the east and west. Seen from
that spot, this extensive tract of country has the appearance
of a well cultivated garden, fenced in by hills on the north
and south, and diversified with lawns and woods, and culti-
vated fields ; while its serpentine river crosses its capacious
course, with many fantastic windings, towards the Tay.
At half-past three o'clock the royal carriage drove up, pre-
ceded and followed by detachments of the Carabineers. Four
carriages succeeded, containing Sir R. Peel, Lord Liver-
pool, Lord Morton, the Duchess of Norfolk, Miss Paget,
and others of her Majesty's suite.
The royal pair were received at the main entrance of the
Castle (the steps of which were covered with crimson cloth)
by the Right Hon. the Earl and Countess of Kenmore. Her
Majesty was led into the library by the earl—the Countess
taking the arm of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The
noble earl was dressed in his uniform as Lord Lieutenant of
the county.
A company of the 42nd Regiment was drawn up on the
lawn in front of the Castle, and received her Majesty with
the usual honours, the band of the 92nd Regiment, who ac-
companied them, striking up the National Anthem.
A deputation, consisting of the Earl of Kinnoul, H. H.
Drummond, Esq., M.P. for the county; Robert Smythe,
Esq., of Methven, A.M. ; M. Belshes, Esq., of Invermay ;
and Robert Whigham, Esq., sheriff of the county, were ad-
mitted-into the presence of her Majesty, in the library.
Her Majesty, with the Prince at her left hand, stood at the
further end of the room, and a little behind them stood Sir
Robert Peel, Lord Liverpool, the Earl of Morton, the
Duchess of Norfolk, &c.
The address from the county to her Majesty was read by
the Earl of Kinnoul.

A similar address was then presented to Prince Albert.
A deputation of the town-council, consisting of the lord
provost, magistrates, and city clerks, was likewise received,
and had the honour of presenting an address to the Queen.
Suitable replies were returned.
At four o'clock, exactly, 'the royal pair sat down to a
splendid dejeunir, which was laid out in the dining-room of
the Castle. Covers were laid for thirty. On the side-board
there was a magnificent display of gold plate, formerly the
property of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, and
presented to him, we understand, upon his marriage, by the
late King of Prussia. The centre pieces were of solid gold
from France. The Earl of Kinnoul sat at the middle of the
table, with the Queen on the right hand and the Prince on
the left. The following is a list of the company invited to
meet her Majesty :—The Duchess of Norfolk, the Duke and
Duchess of Buccleuch, Miss Paget, Lord Aberdeen, Lord
Liverpool, Sir R. Peel, Lord Morton, General Wemyss,
Colonel Bouverie, Mr. Anson, Sir James Clark, Earl and
Countess of Mansfield, Lord and Lady and Honourable Miss
Willoughby, Lord and Lady Kinnaird, Lord and Lady
Ruthven, Lord Strathallan, Home Drummond, Esq., Sir
Charles Rowley, Sir George Murray.
Her Majesty remained about an hour and a half at Dupplin.

HER MAJESTY'S ENTRY INTO PERTH.

In accordance with the previous arrangements of the ma-
gistrates, her Majesty returned from Dupplin by the Hill-
town-road to Craigend, and entered Perth by the Edinburgh-
road. The bells commenced ringing immediately on her
Majesty's departure from Dupplin, and as the royal cortege
approached the fair city.
At Moncrieff Hill her Majesty paused for a time to'enjoy
the lovely landscape which stretches out before her, and ap-
peared to be highly delighted with the scene. On the right,
the massy and lofty hill of Kinnoul, rising 600 feet above the
level of the sea, attracts the eye ; its western side, studded
with cheerful villas and luxuriant parterres.
The foot of this sublime mountain is paved by the pure
waters of the smooth gliding Tay, a stream which pours
more water into the ocean than any other river in Britain.
Lifting the eye off this delightful scene, and following the
course of the river, the ancient city of Perth arrests the
attention, with its stately bridge, its towering steeples and
spires standing out in bold relief, and still adorning the place
which was once dignified with the name of the metropolis of
Scotland, and which ranks in point of precedence as the
second Scotch burgh.

Descending from this commanding and delightful emi-
nence, the Queen approached her ancient city of Perth
through the splended avenue which intersects the South
Inch, one of the spacious city parks. On the high grounds
in the neighbourhood cf the city, and along the line of road,
multitudes of delighted spectators greeted her Majesty as the
royal cortege moved along.
The royal cortege arrived in Perth at six o'clock, with the
usual escort. On reaching the South Port, the Queen was
received by the magistrates and town-council, and the Lord
Provost in elegant court attire presented the keys of the city,
which were graciously received and returned by the Sove-
reign. The gates of the city were now thrown open, and her
Majesty and retinue passed through under a magnificent
triumphal arch which had been erected for• the occasion.
The city arms were emblazoned on its capitals, and the
royal standard, surmounting its lofty height, waved in the
gentle breeze. Outside the gate, and close to it on one side,
the Lord Provost, magistrates, and town-council occupied a
platform ; and on the other side, the ministers and elders of
the presbytery of Perth had similar accommodation—the
ministers dressed in their gowns and bands. The magis-
trates and council, in carriages guarded by the high consta-
bles, in a handsome uniform, escorted the Sovereign and
retinue through the city, passing through Prince's-street,
St. John's-street, George's-street, to the bridge. Through-
out the entire line' the streets were occupied by various in-
corporations, trades, and professions, in distinguished
uniforms and liveries. The high constables and peace-
officers, aided bya thousand operatives, each bearing a white
rod, preserved admirable order throughout. Every opening
in the streets was fitted up with platforms of every descrip-
tion, and every window crowned with a well-dressed and
joyful population. As her Majesty passed along, the densely
thronged multitudes rent the air with their deafening cheers,
and the waving of handkerchiefs from the casements indi-
cated the universal joy. Her Majesty appeared in excellent
spirits, and received and returned the gratulations with
much condescension and grace. The multitudes which
passed into Perth from all quarters during the night and
throughout the course of the day was beyond all precedent.
Not fewer than from forty to fifty thousand were added to
the population. All was regularity, order and peace, and no
accident occurred. In the evening, 500 gsntlemen sat down
to a sumptuous banquet, in the County-hall, in honour of
the royal visit, while bonfires and coloured lights illumined
the neighbouring heights. Her Majesty dined and slept at
Scone Palace; the seat of the Earl of Mansfield.

(From Saturday's Edinburgh Post.)
DEPARTURE FOR THE HIGHLANDS.

Wednesday forenoon shortly after eleven o'clock, her Ma-
jesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by a numerous suite
and retinue, set off from Scone Palace to Taymouth by way
of Dunkeld. The day was again beautiful, and the royal
party seemed in high spirits. At the western barrier of the
Bridge they again received the respectful homage of the Lord
Provost, Magistrates, and Conucil in passing ; which they
courteously returned. The north end of George-street,
Charlotte-street, and along Atholl-street to the Barracks,
were lined with an equally crowded but more exclusively re-
spectable assemblage than the day before; and the spirit of
the people, unwearied by long expectation as on that occasion,
seemed even more buoyant than then. The pace of the car-
riages were moderated to indulge the spectators, who con-
tinued their acclamations till the royal cortege were out of
sight at the Barracks.
The road to Dunkeld was crossed by occasional triumphal
arches, near which the population of the surrounding districts
were congregated from an early hour. The first passed by
the royal party was that erected by the work-people at Lun-
carty Bleachfield ; around which they were arranged in order,
under the eye of the manager, and all in holiday dress. The
next was that of the Stanley company's establishment, em-
bracing nearly one thousand operatives, erected at the junc-
tion of the Stanley and Dunkeld roads. This was perhaps
as tasteful an arch as any in the county, and her Majesty
paid both it and the preceding the compliment to order the
carriage to drive slowly under them. The Stanley work-
people were arranged in order upon the hill to the west, and
from their neat and orderly appearance attracted the royal
notice in a favourable manner. Similar erections occurred
at Bank foot and onwards towards Dunkeld ; the approach to
the Highlands being indicated by the greater proportion of
tartan dresses in the surrounding groups.

ITER MAJESTY AT DUNKELD.
Tuesday, about three o'clock afternoon, two companies of
the 6th Dragoons or Carbineers, who had been billetted here,
marched out to meet the Atholl clans on their way to Dun-
keld, and at seven o'clock evening they entered the town.
The clans, who were in full uniform, led by their respective
chiefs, and commanded by Lord Glenlyon, made a very im-
posing and martial appearance. The men were strong robust
highlanders, and came in somewhat in the following order :
The Hon. Capt. Murray, his lordship's brother led the Gre-
nadier company, the men composing which were six feet
high, and clad in Atholl tartan, with white belts, and knap-
sacks, having the word Atholl on them, and carrying war
axes. Captains Drummond and M`Duff followed with 100
men, similarly dreccptl, hut carrying only swords and tnrgpts
The Duke of Leeds followed with his clan, clothed in Dun-
blane tartan, with jackets the colour of heather. The dresses
and general appearance of the clans commanded the admira-
tion of all present. Next came M'lnroy of Lude's men,
who wore the Atholl tartan, with black belts. The Kin-
droggan, Dionanean, Faseally, Balnakiellie, Middlehaugh,
Morand, and. Polkemet clans, followed in their respective
tartans, led by their chiefs. After the clans, came the te-
nantry in the highland costume. The clans and the highland
tenantry formed a bddy of upwards of 800 strong. The com-
missary stores with the guards, closed the procession into
Dunkeld. The men all slept in tents in the Atholl home
grounds. The states cOntiiir" provisions for 1000 men for
three days.
The pontage gate of the Dunkeld Bridge was, on Wednes-
day, thrown out to the public by the Duchess of Atholl. The
gate was decorated as a Gothic arch, with side pillars, clothed
with heather, and mounted with a crown. On the side of
the left pillar was a mountain eagle, on the right a black cock,
and about the centre stood a deer on each side, thus showing
the produce of the country. Throughout the town there
were crowns and flags, with the words " Welcome to Dun-
keld."
About one o'clock in the forenoon, the Cathedral bells
were rung, and a royal salute announced the arrival of the
royal party. This was followed by the cheers of the many
thousands assembled to obtain a glimpse of her Majesty.
The Grenadier Highlanders, under the comnand of Captain
Drummond, marched out and escorted the Queen to the
Atholl grounds. When crossing the Dunkeld Bridge, the
magnificent scenery seemed greatly to please and astonish
her Majesty and Prince Albert. It is well known that this
view is one of the finest perhaps in the Highlands, combining
both the sublimity of Alpine scenery, with the beauty of a
woodland landscape. On reaching the Royal Park, her Ma-
jesty was received by Lord and Lady Glenlyon, and a salute
was immediately fired from the battery. Her Majesty then
rose in her carriage, and bowed most graciously to all around.
After alighting at the tent, she walked out with Prince Albert,
along the line of the clans, Lord Glenlyon accompanying,
and explaining to her Majesty the different dresses and bodies
assembled. The Masonic and Friendly Societies assembled,
came in for their share of royal attention, the Queen being
much pleased with their appearance. Her Majesty first
walked up in front of the clans, and returned between the
ranks.

At two o'clock, a splendid dejeuner was served in the royal
tent--the table was laid down for thirty-four persons.
At three o'clock her Majesty entered the Royal carriage
and took her departure fot Tavmouth accompanied as before,
under a royal salute from the battery. A guard of sixty
Highlanders armed with large Lochaber axes, and preceded
by eight pipers, accompanied the Queen. Through the
kindness of Lord Glenyon all the respectable persons were
admitted into the park, and upwards of 5000 availed them-
selves of the opportunity. The scene in the park was grand,
the day being fine, the arrangements judicious, and the
greatest harmony and loyalty prevailed throughout the day.

On entering the tevn of fluDi:cld, ber Mujeao appeared
rather thoughtful, but on reaching, the park, the beauty of
the scene seemed to impart a degree of livelineig to the Queen,
who smiled and bowed in return to the cheers of the assembled
multitude as she passed.

A splendid arch, surmounted by a crown of flowers was
erected at the south of the bridge, with " Welcome to Athol',"
in large letters across it. Flags and other insignia of loyalty.
adorned the streets as her Majesty passed. The Carpenter s
Society, with their banners, &c. were also drawn up in the
park, as well as both the Mason Lodges, with their ornaments.
Several gentlemen who had seen the ceremonies both in
Edinburgh and Perth, expressed themselves much satisfied
with what they witnessed here. A number of constables
were in attendance, but their services were rendered un-
necessary by the excellent disposition of the people, who
dispersed quietly.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert on passing Inver village,
the birth-place of Neil Gow, seemed much amused at their
reception there. At the triumphal .arch 210 villagers
assembled with .a piper—each in their hand had a glass of
whiskey, and just as her Majesty came up, the toast was given,
"The Queen, God bless her," with three times three. Her
Majesty rose and bowed, as also Prince Albert. During the
giving of the honours her Majesty smiled, again bowed to the
villagers, and drove off. Sir Robert Peel was an object of
interest, and was loudly cheered. The Inver villagers when
his carriage passed, reversed the royal salutation. The call
was, three times three for Sir Robert Peel, and a bumper to
him after.

PREPARATIONS AT TATMOUTH CASTLE.
The most extensive preparations have been going on for
some weeks at this splendid seat of the Marquis of Breadal-
bane, in anticipation of her Majesty's visit to the Highlands.
On the road from Dunkeld, triumphal arches were
erected; and at Milltown of Kineragie, &c., a mile to the
east of Aberfeldy, a splendid arch was raised, surmounted by
a crown, the whole being constructed with heather ; another
arch of the same national material adorning the entrance of
Aberfeldy. The first approach to Taymouth was also deco-
rated with a heather arch, as well as the bridge at Kenmore
and other places in the vicinity. Marquees were._ erected in
the neighbourhood of the Castle for the use of the High-
landers assembled. There is a battery on the hill in front of
the Castle. On an adjoining eminence, and to the westward,
near the foot of Loch Tay, others were erected, and flags were
also in readiness on the adjoining hills to telegraph the ap-
proach of her Majesty.
It was arranged that on her Majesty and Prince Albert
alighting at the grand entrance, the Highlanders, to the
number of several hundreds, and all equipped in the national
dress should be drawn up, forming part of a large circle
round the entrance, the remainder being completed by the
company of the 92d Highlanders, stationed at Taymouth as
the guard of honour, under the command of Major Camp-
bell. Upwards of twenty pipers had been collected to play
a welcome to the Queen ; and the band of the 66th had also
been stationed at the Castle. A general parade of the High-
landers-200 in number—took place on Tuesday. The style
in which they went they went through their exercises would
not disgrace any of her Majesty's standing regiments.

HER MAJESTY AT TAI MOUTH CASTLE.
Taymouth was a scene of the greatest bustle, animation,
and excitement on Wednesday, the day of her Majesty's
expected arrival. From a very early hour the population
poured in from all quarters. Vehicles of every description
groaning with loads of passengers, and troops of pedestrians,
were wending their way to Taymouth—many from very dis-
tant
parts—from Greenock, Dumbarton, Inverary, Oban,
Inverness.snire, Forfarshire, Banff, Aberdeenshire, and from
the metropolis of Perthshire, the fair city, in great numbers.
At half-past twelve o'clock the Brenda(bane Highlanders
were marched to the front of the castle, and underwent a
review ; and a finer body of men (about 200) could not well
be selected in any part of Scotland. They were divided into
five companies. The first company, with their swords and
targets, bad a very splendid appearance, while the light com-
pany were dressed as foresters, in shepherd tartan dresses,
kilts of course, and had firelocks. This company was also
much admired, as indeed were the whole corps, and especially
the Grenadiers, a giant parcel of men. At half-past two a
body of about sixty men, from the estate of Menzies, ele-
gantly dressed in Menzies uniform, came forward under the
leadership of their chief, Sir Neil Menzies of that Ilk, Bart.,
and took their stations on the lawn ; and also about thirty
men from Mr. Menzies of Chethill's property. The differ-
ent companies were liberally provided with pipers, flags, &c.
At five o'clock a flag was hoisted on the top of the Crag of
Dule, as a signal that the Queen was approaching. At twenty
minutes to six her Majesty entered the elegant triumphal
arch at the front of the castle, and, escorted by a party of
the Carbineers, drove slowly along in her open carriage and
four, followed by six other carriages and four, and several
pair of single horse vehicles. The cheering of the many
thousands who lined the road along, rolled on to the vast
multitude who were assembled in the lawn, and who joined
in the universal hurrah—nine times nine—to which the sur-
rounding hills re-echoed. She alighted at the main door of
the princely abode at sixteen minutes to six, when a royal
salute was fired ; and the royal standard—brought from
England for the special purpose—was substituted for the
Breadalbane flag on the top of the castle.
The Breadalbane Highlanders were ranged on the lawn in
front of the Castle, and the marquis stood in front, about
150 yards in advance of his men. As soon as the Queen
approached, the marquis called out, " Highlanders attention !"
and all followed the marquis in giving the grand salute.
When her Majesty entered the castle, she was conducted to
the balcony by the marquis, when the tlighlanders gave nine
hearty Highland cheers. Her Majesty and Prince Albert
immediately made their appearance on the balcony, when
the cheering was again resumed, and graciously acknowledged.
She then retired within, and the vast multitude thereafter
dispersed, to assemble again in the evening to witness the
fire-works.

The dinner took place at 8 o'clock, her Majesty and Prince
Albert occupying the centre of the table, the Marquis of Bread-
albane on the left of her Majesty, and the Marchioness on
the right of Prince Albert.

In front of the Castle there were platforms erected, where
Highland dances took place by torch light, and her Majesty
witnessed them from the balcony. On the lawn were the
words " Welcome Victoria and Albert" in transparent
lamps, which had a magnificent effect. The fort on the hill
opposite the Castle was covered with variegated lamps, and
bonfires blazed on every promontory. Many of the trees
were hung with lamps, which gave the grounds quite the
effect of a fairy land.

PRINCE ALBERT ON THE HILLS.-DEER STALKING.
On Thursday morning the Queen and the Prince break-
fasted alone at eight, and a few minutes past nine Prince
Albert started for the hills. He was mounted on a chesnut
pony, and dressed in a black velvet shooting coat, shepherd's
plaid trousers, shoes and gaiters, and attended only by the
Marquis of Breadalbane. He proved himself a good shot,
for he returned to the Castle about three o'clock, after linv-
ing, with' his own hand, shot nineteen red deer, besides
hares, rabbits, grouse, black-cock, and capercailzie.• It was
pleasing to see " whig and tory all agree" on this grand oc-
casion, and a proof of it•was given in Sir Robert Peel and
Fox Maule galloping away to the hills together; and their
servants being out of the way, Fox Maule held Sir Robert's
horse till he mounted. In the afternoon, her Majesty and
the Royal party took a short drive to Kenmore and round
the marquis' grounds to the Tunnel Bridge road.
The royal visitors sat down at eight o'clock to a most mag-
nificent entertainment, in providing which the noble host
showed the most profuse hospitality, with the most perfect
good taste. Her Majesty and Prince Albert were supported
by the Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane, and the
rest of the company consisted of the Duchess of Norfolk,the
Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, the Earl of Aberdeen, the
Earl of Liverpool, Sir R. Peel, and the members of the royal
household. The party was very select.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO STIRLING.
We understand that the horses for the conveyance of her
Majesty's carriages, seventy-two in number, have been ap-
pointed to be ready at eight in the morning of Tuesday next,
at Drummond Castle, and as her Majesty's expeditious habits
are well known, it is certain that she will be in Stirling at not
later than ten o'clock a.m. The sheriff and gentlemen of the
county will receive her Majesty at the Bridge of Allan, and,
along with the members of the late Stirlingshire yeomanry
corps, who, at the request of their colonel, Mr. Murray, of
Polinaise, have agreed to turn out on the occasion, will escort
her to the Bridge of Stirling, where she will be met with the
provost and magistrates who will there deliver to her the keys
of the burgh. Her Majesty, it is expected, will then proceed
along the road leading to the west end of Cowan-street, up
Bridge-street, St. Mary's-wynd, Broad-street, and Mar-
place, to the Castle, escorted all the way by the provost and
magistrates. After leaving the Castle, her Majesty will re-
turn down Broad-street, Bow-street, Baker-street, King-
street, and Fort-street. At the end of Port-street, the ma-
gistrates will take their leave of the Queen, who will again
be met by the sheriff, gentlemen of the county and yeomanry
corps, who will continue to escort her along the road to Fal-
kirk. Near the latter town the teuantry of the Earl of Zet-
land, and of Mr. Forbes of Callender, will join the escort,
which will continue to attend her Majesty's progress as far as
Linlithgow-bridge, were the royal party will be met by the
Earl of Hopetoun and the Lieutenant of Linlithgowshire.
Mre understand that with the view of preventing her Majesty
being impeded in her progress through the town, it is the in-
tention of the magistrates to erect barricades in St, Mary's-
wynd, the Bow, and the tipper part of Baker-street, so as to
exclude all passengers, except such as form part of the royal
cortege.—Stirling Observer.

ENIGMA.—What word is that in the English language.
and in common use, which will describe a person or thing as
not to be found in any place, and yet, without any other al."
teration than a separation of the syllables, will correctly de.
scribe him as being present at the same moment ?—(./liern-
ing Post.) This has been " running the round" of the
papers for some time : we shall put our fair readers, who
amueo thorneolvos with such riddlce, out of suspense by
giving the answer, which is "nowhere"—" now here."

INDIA RUDDER PAVEMENT.—Who would have thought
of paving our streets, stables, and passages with India rub-
ber? Yet such a thing seems to be expected ; for we find in
the Polytechnic Journal the notice of a plan for so doing.
The price will be about the same as the best asphalt pave-
ment. It is so elastic that it will not fracture with the
heaviest blow, which property prevents its wearing away. It
can be altered, repaired, or relaid, at a small expense, as the
old material can be taken back and reworked. We have un-
derstood that many persons of high rank have ordered that
their stables be laid down with the caoutchouc pavement; the
advantage of which, to the feet of horses, must immediately
suggest itself.

THE APPROACHING CONCERTS.—The arrangements for
the Grand Musical Festival, in this town, are progressing
most satisfactorily, and judging from the proficiency of the
local choristers in their rehearsals, there is no doubt that
their part of the performances will be sustained with efficiency
and credit, and, upon the whole, that the public will have
the opportunity of witnessing such a treat as has rarely been
offerred, and certainly never in this part of the country.
The vocal and instrumental music will be of the highest cha-
racter; indeed, the high caste of the concert, will be one of
its distinguishing features and strongest recommendations to
the public, and especially the musical part of the community.
For sacred music the parties engaged are the very highest in
the walk, and the plans selected are every way calculated to
give effect to the performances. It is more than probable as
some of the members of the Royal Family will be in this
neighbourhood that they will honour the town by their
presence on the occasion.—Newcastle Journal.

TILE LORD PROVOST'S APOLOGY.—Some illnatured re-
marks having, been made about the Lord Provost of Edin-
burgh, on account of his being in bed, and having overslept
himself, on the morning of the Queen's landing, a gentleman
who is presumed to be well acquainted with the Provost's
habits, has undertaken an apologetical palliation of his con-
duct on the occasion, and in a letter to the editor of the
Times, gives an assurance that no more loyal subjeet exists,
and that the circumstance was entirely owing to his consti-
tutional absence of mind, and in proof of the assertion, he
relates the following anecdote ;—When his Lordship's lady.
says he, was about to be confined, her accouchment was ex-
pected about seven o'clock in the evening, and his Lordship
showed every conjugal and even uxorious care that all ia
attendance should he ready at that time, but as the event did
Riot take place at the expected time, and no symptoms of EMI'
probable distress occurring immediately, his lordship went
to his own bed in a separate room, and slept till eleven
o'clock next morning, being his usual hour of rising. Oa
coming down to his breakfast, the nurse (who had vainly
tried to wake him in his bed room) wished him joy of a sou
and heir, but, to her astonishment, he was violently angry.
and asked, in tones of great displeasure, " Why could not
your mistress wait till I had got up and bad my breakfast ?"
