to leave the capital. She pleaded
with her husband to let her stay.
She begged him to allow her to be
by his side to face whatever Provi-
dence should bring to their country.
"'Only let me be with you, she
said. We can face anything to-
eether. But to go-not knowing
what is happening to you. =
No! No! Please let me remain

the palace courtyard. One was con-
verted into an ambulance for the
queen and little boy-heir to the
throne that is no more.
The baby was only a few hours
old when We started on our journey.
Guns had started to boom. The
king gave the order to start.
He told my granddaughter that
it was for her safety and her safety
only that he wished her to leave
him.
She was carried by stretcher from
the palace. The baby was carried
by nurse.
