but l soon knew better. Eventually we en-
tered St. James Park and fell nto line
among the miles of carriages that stretch
ed along the broad street known as the
Mail. which leads up to the palace Here,
too. crowds were assembled and for over
an hour we were entirely at the mercy OF
the people who gazed in at the WINDOWS
and criticised us most cruelty. considering
our entire helplessness. Indeed. we were
not sorry when our carriage dashed through
the gates of the palace and drew up be-
fore the main entrance.
To my terror we were invited into a side
room where the royal dressers inspected us
as a last precaution. We passed muster
fortunately. and then trooped with the
crowd up the grand staircase. Half way up
passed one of the queens pages who
took from me one of my pink cards, at the
same time shooting a keen glance at me TO
see II l were dressed according to regu-
lations"
