"I wouldn't like to be King always," said Charlotte, with honesty; "but you know, papa, with all the Silver Jubilee celebrations coming on you are quite immensely popular." "Ah!" said the King. "Thank you, my dear, that is what I wanted to know." He went on to the Queen's apartments, and Princess Charlotte stood looking after him. "Poor dear!" she said to herself.

My association with Bivens in this prosecution of crime was not of my choosing, but it came. I shall be compelled to see him often." "Does she know that you are afraid?" "I think not. She feels that I've never forgiven her treachery, but come, dearie, it's growing dark, we must hurry. I've a hard night's work before me. You've helped me immensely." "How?" "I don't know, child.

There was a general laugh from the others in the car, for all three of the boys from Brighton had become immensely popular with their companions in arms, all of whom by this time had become well accustomed to this sort of gentle fun between the red-headed Jerry and "the 'ealthy, 'eavy lad" called Slim.

Caroline laughed, actually laughed aloud, when the visit was over. Her uncle was immensely pleased. "Hooray!" he cried. "I'll invite 'em up to stay a week. That's the fust time I've heard you laugh for I don't know when." She laughed again.

And Tom gave chase with more vigor than discretion. Snip, evidently regarding it as a game got up for his special benefit, enjoyed the race immensely and scampered all over the house, shaking the precious parcel like a rat while his master ran and whistled, commanded and coaxed, in vain.
