remember as il it were but Yesterday
that your illustrious grandfather forty
eight years ago came here as the guest
of my beloved mother and my lament
ed father. At that time we We're at
war, and our armies fought together.
Thank Gcd we now are at peace, and
the aim of our countries is to maintain
it and to work together in the paths of
progress and Embellishments"
King Victor Emmanuel replied in
English, saying:
The memories to which your majeS.
ty refers live in my heart and in the
hearts Of all Italians since the historic
and eventful period which led Italy to
unity and which rendered to England,
always greater and more powerful, the
feelings of sympathy and friendship
which now unite the two peoples. For
my people these feelings have contin-
ued to increase. and they constitute a
tradition for my government. They are
important factors in Italian policy,
which. like the policy of your maiesty's
government, is one of peace and civil
cation. l thank your majesty for your
cordial welcome of me and of my
queen in this historic castle, where ey-
crything breathes of the glory of your
ancestors and brings before me the i'm
age of the great and regretted Victoria.
l drink the health of your majesty,
your queen and the royal family"
