Was presented in the Gallery, through which the Czar, followed by Czarina and all the Court, were passing on their way to Chapel.
"Well, Fitzroy, what news?" inquired I, roused from my musing, as an aide-de-camp galloped up at full speed. "Tell Merivale to get the regiment under arms at once. Sir Arthur Wellesley will be here in less than half an hour. You may look for the route immediately. Where are the Germans quartered?" "Lower down; beside that grove of beech-trees, next the river."
