but to this the queen demurred, Tor
reasons which her uncle considered
conclusive. She was herself, she
urged, too young, so also was the
Prince, and, moreover, his mastery
of the English language Was still
very imperfect. The Prince, on be
ing made aware of what was propos-
ed, and of the necessity of delay,
very sensibly declared himself will
ing to submit, if he had only some
certain assurance to go upon; But,
he said to King Leopold, " if after
waiting perhaps three years l should
find that the Queen no longer desir-
ed the marriage. it would place me
in ridiculous position, and would,
to certain extent, ruin all my pros
poets for the future" This serious
question was, however, soon settled
In way entirely satisfactory to the
Princes mind, and in the winter Of
1888 he set out on protracted and
interesting tour through Italy, re-
turning to Coburg in the following
May.
Meanwhile political events in Eng
land, which it is needless to go into,
made it desirable that the question

cure for her without longer delay a

effect this was, however, no simple
natter. All that the Queen had
heard Of the Prince was most favora-
BE. Her inclination toward him re-
NAMED unchanged, and, to use her
,wn words, "@she.. never had an idea.

that he wanted to raise money TO meet his per-
