He is the Duke commemorated in the column in Waterloo Place, and also in the soldier-boys' school at Chelsea. Therefore the birth of a daughter to the Duke of Kent, the fourth son, at Kensington Palace on May 24, 1819, was an event of no small importance. The room in which the Princess was born was one on the first floor, just below the King's Privy Chamber, and it is marked by a brass plate.

"Janes" was the term by which the soldier-boys described these latter; you could see they were a good sort of "Janes", serious and keen for their job, looking business-like and impressive in their uniforms with many pockets.
"I mean that there young lady belongs to the nobility herself." "Go on!" said Jimmie. "Straight!" said the other. "Her father's the earl of Skye-terrier, or some such damn place." "Aw, cut it out!" growled the little machinist for you never knew in dealing with these soldier-boys whether you were being "kidded" or not. "Did you ask her name?" "She told me it was Miss Clendenning."
