it bids fair to being the most witching
autobiography Of a decade It's brim-
full of interest and entertaining situa-
tions and shows a childhood of excep-
tional happiness. and many interesting
sidelights on her royal grandmother, the
late Queen Victoria. When Marie and
her sisters were taken in to see her
grandmother she says: "It was like
passing through the forecourts of a
temple-before approaching the final
mystery to which only the initiated had
access"-and finally when the last door
opened. There sat grandma, not idol
like at all, not bit frightening, smil-
ing kind little smile, almost as shy as
we children, SO that conversation was
not very fluent on either side"-and
this was the great Victoria, Queen OF
England, Scotland and Ireland and En-
press of India whose empire ruled the
seas.
