In a very short time, almost before Anne had recovered from her bewilderment, the other two were up and chattering again. "You are not a Catholic?" demanded Miss Bridgeman. "I was bred in the Church," said Anne. "And you the King's godchild!" exclaimed Pauline. "But we shall soon amend that and make a convert of you like Miss Bridgeman there."
"I caught a good solid element that time," cried Lydia, laughing again. "She's embodied Loyalty," said the doctor. "It breathes from every pore." "She's going to smash my cut glass and china something awful," Lydia foretold. Dr. Melton took his godchild by the shoulders and shook her. "Now, Lydia Emery, you listen to me!
The doctor, it is true, had been pronouncing her death-warrant when she saw him holding her wrist, and wondered what he did there in the middle of the night; but she had been very ill before this, and the conclusion of her life had been watched with many tears.

"Yes, let him be, Mina, you're my little godchild; you'll soon get over it." "No, Mr. Bräsig," cried Rudolph, laying his hand on the old man's shoulder, "no, dear good uncle Bräsig, we'll never get over it; it'll last as long as we live.

It is in our power," resumed the Queen, after a second pause, "it is in our power to make the life within us all soul; so that the heart is not, or is felt not; so that grief and joy have no power over us; so that we look tranquil on the stormy earth, as yon image of the Virgin, whom we make our example, looks from the silent niche. Listen, my godchild and darling."
In July the Court again paid a short visit to Osborne, that the Queen's health might be recruited before the baptism of the little Princess. Her Majesty earnestly desired that the Queen of the Belgians might be present, as the baby was to be the godchild of the young widow of Queen Louise's much-loved brother, the late Duc d'Orleans. Unfortunately the wish could not be fulfilled.
