Our dear Victoria was this day (1955l

Is days. He had already spoken to us
nine days ago of his wishes, but we were
uncertain, on account of her extreme

service in 1849 as ''gillie, or urchin, and
Prince Albert noted his reliability and
sent him with the queens carriage and

noble servant, served the queen wife and
widow. and his love of her husband
made him her reliance when alone. Low
! opinion in England tried to exaggeratt
these simple household friendships.
