When but a mere child, writes Alfred
II. Story in the Windsor Magazine. her
majesty used to delight George ~. 10y
her quick wit.
One day when staying at the royal
lodge the king entered the drawing
room leading his little niece by the
hand. The band was stationed as
usual in the adjoining conservatory.
Now. Victoria, said his ma iesty," the
band is in the next room and shall play
any tune YOU please; what shall it be?'
"Oh, uncle, replied the princess with
great readiness. Il should like God
Save the King better than anything
else"
4 similar instance of childish quick
ness is related in regard to the queens
early studies in music:
Being one day required TO practice at
the pianofortc, she objected, desiring
to know why it was necessary To spend
SO much time in the drudgery of run
ming up and down scales. She was told
that there was no royal road TO music.
and that she must practice like other
children. The little autocrat did not
agree with this, and quietly locked the
piano and put the key in her pocket,
saying: There. you see! There is no
must in the matter" Having made her
point, however. she was soon prevailed
upon to reopen the instrument, and so
proceed with her lesson.

"Um-well. | don't remember the

which would otherwise have been
wasted upon them might then go to-
