Kendall in his new clerical attire seemed quite willing to play the part of court-chaplain to the would-be king. "I would as soon," he said, "trade with a musket as with a dollar." The effects of the change were seen immediately. The Maoris grew insolent, broke down the settlers' fences, and stole whatever they could lay their hands on. This was, however, as nothing to that which followed.
On returning to the Castle Charles sate down to dinner, and a select portion of the more loyal Jersey society was admitted into the Hall to see the King at table. Only two places were set; and after a Latin grace had been pronounced by the Court-Chaplain, the dishes were taken, one by one, to the King and his brother, and whatever meats were approved were taken to the side-board and carved.
Amid these surroundings I realized how hasty and premature my intention had been. Only four of us came to keep Christmas at home, for Martha now lived in Dresden as the wife of Lieutenant Baron Curt von Brandenstein, the nephew of our Aunt Sophie's husband. Her wedding ceremony in the cathedral was, of course, performed by the court-chaplain Strauss.

Strauss was in the counsels of the king, Frederick William IV, and at important moments exercised an influence on his political decisions. Yet that somewhat eccentric prince could not resist his inclination to make cheap jokes at Strauss's expense. After creating him court-chaplain, he said to Alexander von Humboldt: "A trick in natural history which you cannot copy!
When they were half-way there a cow began to low. "Hark!" said all the courtiers. "What a beautiful note, and how powerful for such a tiny creature! I have certainly heard it before." "No," said the maid, "that is only the lowing of a cow. We have a long way to go yet." "Oh, how exquisite!" murmured the Chinese Court-chaplain, as he heard the frogs croaking in a marsh.
It is becoming impossible for those who mix at all with their fellow-men to believe that the grace of God is distributed denominationally. Like other idealisms, patriotism varies from a noble devotion to a moral lunacy. Our clergy are positively tumbling over each other in their eagerness to be appointed court-chaplain to King Demos.
