gloom.
But this did not affect their cheers.

by kissing them on both cheeks. The
Queen also embraced her son. Besides
the King and Queen the prince met on
thc station platform the Queen of Nor

the distinguished gathering present
were the American Ambassadors and
most of the members of the British
Cabinet.
