The mother of the king by this measure became queen-dowager, or N'yamasore.
On another occasion, when I saw a similar procession accompanying the King to the tomb of the queen-dowager, the two palanquins used were much smaller, and were fast closed, although there were windows with thick split bamboo blinds on both sides of each palanquin. The palanquins were covered with lovely white leopard skins outside, and were rich in appearance, without lacking in taste.
As James was himself pursuing a Spanish marriage for his son as the chief end and aim of his existence, there was something almost humorous in this protest to the Queen-Dowager and in his encouragement of mutiny in France in order to prevent a catastrophe there which he desired at home.
'Now we shall have you off our hands, said her grandmother, the old queen-dowager. 'Come now, let me adorn you like your other sisters! and she put a wreath of white lilies round her hair, but every petal of the flowers was half a pearl; then the old queen had eight oysters fixed on to the princess's tail to show her high rank. 'But it hurts so! said the little mermaid.
He had, indeed, something of a German air; but it was only the air; for he had nothing German besides. He did not dance well. The Queen-Dowager of Spain flattered herself with the hope of marrying him. He thought he should recommend himself to the King by not appearing to care what became of his brothers. When the Dauphin was lying sick of the small-pox, I went on the Wednesday to the King.
The kings severity also towards his mother, the queen-dowager, though exposed to some more censure, met not with very general disapprobation.

Those who took part in this company were: His Majesty's mother, the queen-dowager Christina, the Prince John Casimir, the Royal Council, the most distinguished of the nobility, the highest officers of the army, the bishops and other clergymen, together with the burgomasters and aldermen of the cities, as well as a large number of the people generally.
"That doesn't matter, it's just the name of the paper, you know. And it sounds so gay and jolly." "I like it," declared King, and so they all agreed to the name. "Now, my courtiers and noble friends," said their Queen, "it's time we all scooted home to luncheon. My queen-dowager mother likes me to be on time for meals.
