"You have never left me for a single day since that sad event. I fear darling my nature is not demonstrative, but I want you to understand, that I am indeed grateful to you, for all you have done these busy months for me & I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your love & for the enormous help & comfort which you have been to me in my new position.

I can't imagine how I could have got on at all without you, I shall never forget it...My love grows stronger for you every day mixed with admiration & I thank God every day that he has given me such a darling devoetd wife as you are....God bless you my sweet Angel May....''

Nobody could make the memorials of Westminister come to life again as Dean Stanley could with his vivid historic sense. In spite of his charm of the Dean’s stories, Prince George wandered away by himself. At last he was found in a dim little side chapel. He had scrambled on top of Queen Elizabeth’s tomb, and, looking down at the effigy, he was saying, “What an ugly old woman !’’
