erievous affliction of blindness. But he
had a great consolation in the person of
his eldest daughter, Princess Frederlca.
This lady Was his constant companion,
leading him, and sketching for him with
her kind voice all interesting persons
and things surrounding them. The
king would enter a museum or other
public place like man with good eyes,
and, when on his daughters arm, never
failed to return the salutes addressed to
him from whatever direction they might
come. It was evident that there was
some system of .telegraphy known to the
two, and from long habit the king had
become so expert that he rarely made a
mistake. At soiree he was led up to
the host or hostess, bowed at the right
moment, and went through the cere-
mony with all the ease OF a man who
could see.
