Next morning the Sand Club assembled on the Maynards' veranda, to march to Sandringham Palace. Mrs. Craig had helped out the costumes of her royal children, and the Grand Sandjandrum was gorgeous in a voluminous yellow turban, with a red cockade sticking up on one side. Sandow and the Sand Crab had soldier hats made of red and yellow paper, and big sailor collars of the same colors.
I'm not sure that he didn't stay at Sandringham. One of the real old French families, you know, De Seurs." Duncombe nodded. There did not seem to be much that he could say. He mingled with the other guests, and observed his social duties. But he watched the Baron, and he took care that they left together. "Are you going my way, Baron?" he asked, as they stepped into the Place Vendôme.
"I lived with the Dook over two year, and then when we were staying in a big house near Sandringham there was some jewellery of the Dook's missed, and His Grace told me that, although he made no charge against me, he should get another valet. "I give you my word, sir, as I stand here, that I knew nothing of the missing jewellery. I was as innocent of stealing it as a babe unborn.
The recital carried them on for another mile, in the course of which the houses became smaller and more scattered, and finally, when the country had become bare and desolate again, they turned down a narrow lane and came to a tall, gaunt house standing by itself in a field. "This is Sandringham," said Mr Mariner. "What!" said Jill. "What did you say?" "Sandringham. Where we live.
From then onwards, you have always been the most loyal and indulgent of friends, forgetting no one as you rapidly climbed to fame, and were raffled for by all parties from Sandringham to the crossing-sweeper. Your early years will sell the book. Bless you. St. John Midleton was one of the rare people who tell the truth.
"Pale Annie" he was called because his real name was Anderson Hawberry Sandringham. That name had been a great aid to him when he was an undertaker in Kansas City; but Anderson Hawberry Sandringham had fallen from the straight and narrow path of good undertakers some years before and he had sought refuge in the mountain-desert, where most things prosper except sheriffs and grass.
Few that are familiar with Sandringham can enter this room without thinking of the occasion when the proud and loving mother entered, leaning on the arm of her eldest boy, on the day he attained his majority.
Of course there were exceptions: there were those who missed their birds both barrels time after time, or still worse sent them away sorely wounded with their poor shattered legs hanging helplessly down. These were the sort of shots who were not required at Sandringham, and, as a rule, were not asked again.
December 14th, the day which had proved fatal to his father exactly ten years before, was at hand, and everybody believed that it would see another heavy blow dealt at the Royal Family. It is impossible to describe the emotion produced by the most unexpected news of the Prince's condition. The telegrams from Sandringham were of so positive a nature that they forbade hope.
"By the bye, did you notice that he is included in the house party at Sandringham again this week?" Anstruther, the youngest Cabinet Minister, and Lord Redford's nephew, joined in the conversation. "I can tell you something for a fact," he said. "My cousin is Lady-in-Waiting, and she's been up in town for a few days, and she asked me about Mannering.
