A British peer, when dining with the Queen,
was challenged by Royal Duchess to take wine
Grace-but declined the compliment, stating
that he never took wine. The Duchess imme-
diately turned to the Queen, and jocularly
said:
please your Majesty, here is Lord -,
who declines to take wine at your Majesty
table,"
Every eye was turned to the Queen, and not
little curiosity eyinced as to the manner in
which the total abstainer would be dealt with
by royalty. With a smiling and graceful ex-
preston, her Majesty replied;
"There is no oompulsion at my table"
