What I ask is that my cousin, Mistress Dorothy Jermyn, receives an immediate dismissal from Her Majesty's service; and is ordered to leave London with me, for her father's house, at noon." His Majesty looked at me amazed. I think he did not know whether to be angry, or to laugh. "Well, sir," he said at last. "That is the maddest request I have ever had. You mean what you say?"
