queen Victoria would notice
that Albert kept quoting from
Shakespeare-that the Arch
bishop of Canterbury kept quot
ing from the Bible-sentences
that were very different from
anything in the Readers Digest.
Sometimes these sentences were
not reassuring but disquieting.
Sometimes they had big words
or hard thoughts in them. Some
times the interest in them wasn't
human, but literary or divine.
After a while. Queen Victoria
would want Shakespeare and the
Bible-would want Prince Al

forehand by the Readers Digest.
And a little farther on in this
process of digestion. she would
look from the Readers Digest
