nine GaSs ago of his wishes, but we were
uncertain. on account of her extreme
youth, Whether he should speak to her
himself Or wait till he came back again.
However, we felt it was better he should
do SO, and during our ride he picked a
piece of white heather, the emblem of

widow, and his love of her husband

The sovereign represents England's de-
rivative rights and feudal glory. The
English have regard for those regal as
sociations. The house Of lords also rep
resents the barons. who In the founds-
ton Of the ,onarchy drew their swords
or as bishops elevated their crosses for
the sovereign.
In time the barons obtained rights
from the king. In time the people took
