"Why, I wouldn't trust you boys out of my sight for a minute. Something would surely happen." Kirby stooped and kissed his daughter's cheek.
When the Queen and the Prince read this letter all London was illuminated, and its streets filled with huzzaing spectators. At the palace the evening closed quietly with a State concert of classic music. The Princess Royal's honeymoon so far as a period of privacy was concerned, did not last longer than the Queen's.
