A charming little story is told OF
Queen Victoria's first visit to Crathie
Church. near Balmoral. On that oc.
casion a fine dog which belonged to
the clergyman followed his master up
the pulpit steps, and lay against the
door during the entire service. Al
though the dog made not the slightest
disturbance, Sir George Grey, who was
then In attendance oil her majesty, re
garded the animals presence as some
what dlsrespectful, and suggested to
the clergyman that it had better be dis
pensed with in the future.
The next Sunday, therefore, the dog
was denied his usual privilege OF
chureh-going. and remained sorrowful-
ly at home.
A day or two later the clergyman
was honored by an invitation TO dine
with the royal family. To his surprise,
Queen Victoria presently inquired fol-
his dog, saying she had noticed he was
not at church Sunday.
Il kept my dog at home last Sunday
your majesty" replied the clergyman
''as Sir George Grey thought his pres
ence in church would annoy You"
"Oh. no, said the queen, heartily, "let
him come as usual. | only wish every
body behaved at church as well as your
noble dogw added her majesty, with
a decided spice of mischief in her tone.
Sir George Grey's feelings are not re
corded. but II is said that the Crathie
clergyman was warmed and comforted
by this tribute to the good behavior of
his favorlte.
