But kings don't sleep in their

Not in these modern days.
should say nights, my love. No, they
have nice little collapsible crown

when you press on a spring, and when
it is closed it will go very nicely under
the pillow"
But there is the Kohinoor, my
love. You can't collapse that 1t is

mo, my dear. it isn't"
But, George, hens eggs are not all
of size
Then it is my love-
But you haven't told me yet why
the king waits so long He's really
the king, just the same, isn't he?"
Every inch king, my love; fifty
three inches around the waist and ev-
cry inch king. But | guess the real
reason is that Ed doesn't look well in
crown, and that's why he puts it off
or rather keeps it off-as long as he
can. So few men really do look well
in crowns, you know?"
That sounds like nonsense, George.
OF course King Edward could have a
crown made to fit him. And he could
have it in the latest style, too"
Maybe he could. And maybe, too,
he could send it over occasionally and
have the dents taken out of it, ~
have it ironed and rebound, and a
new sweatcloth put inside-and then
have it sent home in handbook"
But, George, dear, you haven't told
me yet why the king puts off the cor
onation so long"
well my love, the secret isn't mine.
Still, I'll let you have it. King Ed
ward intends to bafi'le the newspaper

get chance to mix up coronation

if he waits whole year Carrie will
