MISCELLANY
QUEEN ELIZABETH AND HER FAyORIrEs

The partiality of Queen Elizabeth for
handsome and accomplished chevaliers
is notorious. Her fondness for Robert
Dudley, Earl of Leicester, aud for his
step son, the Earl Of Essex, is no mere
palace gossip, but historic fact. We
may mention the names of Raleigh and
Mountjoy as two other instances.
As but little Is generally known of the
Queens partiality for Meantjoy, we
shall mention two or three incidents in
his short but brilliant career, before
treating of Sir Walter Raleigh, whom
this paper principally concerns
Charles Blount was one of the hand
soonest cavaliers of his day. He was
first noticed by the Queen,at Whitehall,
in 1855, Who asked her lady-carver-
''Who was the youth OF the graceful
stature and agreeable lacountenance?"
and was informed, II Iwas ga learned
student of Oxford, and the younger
brother of Lord William Mountioy." /.
The young student heard the whisper
ed inquiry, marked the Queens gaze,
and bnshed to the eyes. !.
Elizabeth gave him her hand to kiss,
and said, II saw there was noble blood
in thy veins.
Some days after this, she witnessed
his success at a tilt with Essex, and
awarded him a golden chess-queen,r rich
" enamelled, which Charles wore in
passing through the royal chamber.
