falling in public estimation, and run
ming the risk of undoing the work
which he has been so instrumental in
accomplishing"
These observations are interpreted
as a hint to the Prince of Wales.
and as such it is said he resents the
insinuation.
When the Princess Royal was
born, "for q moment only" the
Queen says, twas he disappointed
at its being daughter and not son.
During the time the Queen was laid
up his care and devotion, the Queen
records, 'were quite beyond express
SION" He was content to sit bv
her IN darkened room, to read to
her, or write for her. A memoran-
dunn by Her Majesty says:
mo one but himself ever lifted
her from her bed to her sofa, and
he always helped to wheel her on
her bed or sofa into the next room.
For this purpose he would come
instantly when sent for from any part
of the house AS years wen on. and
he bectme overwhelmed with work.
for his attentions were the same in
all the Queens subsequent confine-
ments, this wass soften done at much
Inconvenience 70 himself, but he ever
came with sweet smile on his face.
In short, the Queen adds, his care
of her was like that of Ia mother,
nor could there be kinder, wiser,
or more judicious nurse.
The personal habits and daily life
of the Prince are thus described:
From the moment Of his estab-
lishment in the English palace as
the husband of the Queen, his object
was to maintain, and, if possible,
even raise the character of the court.
With this view he knew that it was
not enough that his own conduct
should be i'll truth free from reproach
no shadow of q shade of suspicion
should by possibility attach to it.
He knew that in his position every
action would be scanned-not always
possibly in q friendly spirit; that his
goings out and comings in would be
watched. and that in every society,
however little disposed to be censo-
rious, there would always be found
some prone, were an opening afford
ed, to exaggerate and even to invent
stories against him, and to put an
uncharitable construction on the
most innocent acts. He, therefore,
from the first, laid down strict, not
to say severe, rules for his own guild
ance. He imposed q degree Of re-
straint and self-denial upon his own
movements, which could not have
been otherwise than irksome, had he
not been sustained by sense of the
advantage which the throne would
derive from it. He denied himself
the pleasure which to one so fond
as he was of personally watching and
inspecting every improvement that
was In progress, would have been
very great-of walking at will about
town"
The first volume of this work closes
with the first year of the Queens
married life; from which point the
biography will be continued.
