The Duke of Edinburgh's Rifle Volunteers enlisted men on Thursday, drilled them day and night, and sent them off on the Tuesday. This fine corps has, much to its vexation, been almost continuously employed in guarding lines of communication and protecting bridges and culverts from any violence at the hands of colonial rebels. The South African Light Horse has already been mentioned.
The Prince of Wales's visit to India, and the Duke of Edinburgh's voyage round the world, were much discussed, I think the King would like to use them as a precedent, and see a little more of the world himself. His voyage to, and stay in America, he thoroughly enjoyed. It was two o'clock before our visitors left; and a quarter of an hour later the Queen and her sister arrived.
M. Van de Weyer was not only the trusted representative of the King of the Belgians, he was a man highly gifted morally and intellectually. This year the friendship was broken by his death. On the 15th of October the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh's son was born. The news of Livingstone's death reached England.
I foil into a troubled sleep, and after a miserable night did not know whether to be pleased or scared that I had finished the longer stage of my journey. The early morning train from out Edinburgh's dingy station carried one passenger who paid small attention to the scenery between the beautiful capital of Scotland and its famous university town.
Bottled ale is not wanting, and thus steamer-passengers learn to congregate in the back parlour. We then walked to the top of Gloucester Street, expecting to see the Duke of Edinburgh's memorial. I left it an arch of sticks and timber spanning this main cross-line, which leads to Government House.
It was the Princess Dashkoff who said, in the latter part of the eighteenth century, that of all the societies of men of talent she had met with in her travels, Edinburgh's was the first in point of abilities. One might make the same remark to-day, perhaps, and not depart widely from the truth.
Edinburgh's stole them, and Edinburgh'll have to give them back. It's no use your waiting here I won't budge an inch. She paused abruptly, suddenly catching sight of Fullaway, who at once moved towards her with a confidential and reassuring smile. "You!" she exclaimed. "What brings you here? And who's that with you surely the gentleman of whom I asked my way in some wild place the other night!
It will be remarked that the genuine articles forbidding attacks on monasteries and ensuring priests in their revenues are here omitted, while the false articles on suppression of idolatry, and expulsion of the French forces are inserted, and nothing is said about Edinburgh's special liberty to choose her religion. The sending of this false intelligence was not the result of a misunderstanding.
