The Prince experienced something of the hardships of bivouacing in stormy weather, and suffered in consequence. He came back labouring under a bad cold, to be present at the baptism of his infant son on the 28th. All the sponsors were there in person. The Lord Chamberlain conducted the baby-prince to the font; the Archbishop of Canterbury performed the sacred rite.
But the people, who never before had entered those palace doors, came surging not afraid nor shrinking from the novelty and splendor nor curious for it; they came to pledge their fealty to the baby-prince a little child like their own whose gentle mother asked their love than which no monarch may bring a gift more royal. "Is there aught to fear, Aluisi?
"The Queen still liveth; but oh, my Lord, Aluisi!" her voice broke and her lips quivered, she stretched out her hands to him, the nervous fingers interlaced in a passion of pleading "they have stolen the baby-Prince: she will go mad if they keep him from her!" "They shall not!" he thundered with a terrible oath: he whose speech was fair as a woman's.
With this he could easily make a pageant. The young baby-prince was baptized in the ancient church of Notre Dame, which was fitted up in a magnificent style expressly for the occasion. On each side of the grand nave, between the main columns hung with gold and crimson drapery, a series of seats were erected, also covered with crimson velvet and gold decorations.
"I had left all my lesson books lying about in the room, and I had to put them away; then I cried." "28th February. I cried about it." "9th April. "I got up well and happy; afterward I had a fight with my brother." "10th April. "I had another fight with my brother; that was not right." This almost baby-prince seems to have been a valorous little fellow.
If anything could have restored happiness to Milan of Servia and his Princess, Natalie, it should surely have been the birth of the baby-Prince, Alexander, whom both equally adored and equally spoiled. But, instead of linking his parents in a new bond of affection "Sacha" was from his cradle the innocent cause of widening the breach that severed them.
When the end of the ninth month approached, the people were awakened one night by the joyous peals of the bells of London announcing the new heir. An ambassador had been sent to tell the Pope that Mary could feel the new life within her, and the people rushed to St. Paul's Cathedral to listen to the venerable Archbishop of Canterbury describe the baby-prince and give thanks for his deliverance.
