Truly the Queen had come to court

He seated himself on the edge of the

''S'a'n'tt" said the Queen, equally
brief
He pulled the woolly lamb. Had

night The Queen held tight, and
at his own impotence he lifted up his
royal voice and wept
The lamb was in his arms. The
Queens dark curls were near his own
bright ones.

around him lowered his devoted slaves
His face was aglow with health and
baby beauty, his golden curls veritable
crown upon his head Before him
knelt the sweet girl-mother, as ever
obedient to his will He accepted the
homage without question, for was it
not his due?
WAS ever 50 spoiled a baby?"
The voice was his fathers, but the look
in his eyes belied his bantering words.
You are too absurd, kneeling there.

His wife laughed You are every

and at a delighted gurgle from his majesty
Harry joined the group with due humility.
Its your last day of peace, he
said solemnly. Tomorrow the Queen
comes to court, and with her dissensiOn
and a divided realm. The King will
rule alone no more.
What nonsense, Harry" Nell cried
- As if baby will do anything but love
his little cousin But Harry only
laughed unbelievingly, while the King,
