She regularly goes to bed in a room to

relaxed with her old Danish maid at the
door to preserve her from intrusion.

all her days has she eaten suet buildings
or drunk port wine. and as she has grown
older her care Of her diet has increased.
The only wine she ever touches Ia very
pure sherry which the King OF Portugal
