"Well, it is a gambling-hole, and I don't know but it is a libel on the dog to call it so," answered Ben, as they walked towards the Kursaal. Most of the excursionists were headed in that direction. Shuffles was with the earl's party, though, strangely enough, Sir William was not at the side of Lady Feodora.
She was the daughter of a Hanoverian pastor, and came to England in 1818 as governess to the Princess Feodora of Leiningen.
Stuttgart, the capital, is also the largest town, containing a population of fifty thousand. I close this lecture, which I think has not been a very tedious one, with this remarkable fact: In 1840 there was not to be found an individual in the kingdom, above the age of ten years, who could not read and write." "Is that all?" asked Lady Feodora.
Nor did she rely only on her own opinion. "I must just copy out," she said, "what Mr. Victoria, from the depth of her heart, subscribed to all the eulogies of Feodora and Mr. Klumpp. She only found that they were insufficient.
I can hardly see, I am so blinded." The young lady promptly complied with the request, and holding on to the rail with her left hand, she wiped the water from the captain's eyes. "Thank you," said he, greatly relieved by the act. "Let me change seats with you, Feodora," interposed the young man. "Perhaps I may be able to assist in working the boat." "Sit still!

That summer there came two very interesting royal visitors to Windsor the young Princess Charlotte of Belgium and her betrothed husband, the Archduke Maximilian of Austria.
I am willing to believe that both Lady Feodora and myself would have been drowned but for your plucky conduct and generous efforts in our behalf on Lake Constance." "I am very glad to have served you, and I assure you I hold you to no obligations of any kind," replied Shuffles. "I simply did what I regarded as my duty, which my sea life fitted me to perform."
The National Gallery particularly interested him: he drew up careful regulations for the arrangement of the pictures according to schools; and he attempted though in vain to have the whole collection transported to South Kensington. Feodora, now the Princess Hohenlohe, after a visit to England, expressed in a letter to Victoria her admiration of Albert both as a private and a public character.
The Count and Feodora were greatly interested in their account of their visit with the Barton family in Labrador. "By the way," said Mattie, "let's go up to Will's studio and see his painting of Jennie Barton." Feodora readily assented. "I have been longing for some time to see the interior of your beautiful cabin," she said.
