What the London Chronicle calls Mr..
Bryan's "teetotal hospitality" would
never have done for Queen Bess. For
wherever Elizabeth went there ale had
to go also-strong ale. Great were the
trials of her host the earl of Leicester.
as expressed in a letter from Hatfield
to Lord Burleigh: There is not one
drop of good drink for her here. We
were fain to send to London and Ken
ilworth and divers other places where
ale was; her own beer was so strong
as there was no man able to drink it.
And one quart of this excellent
wash" of good strong ale for break
fast. we are told, put the queen in
good spirits for the start of the days
work.
