July 6, 1893, Prince George of Wales, Duke of York, and Princess Mary of Teck were married. The Prince was by inheritance heir, after the Prince of Wales, to the throne of England. Mr. Gladstone attended the wedding, arrayed in the blue and gold uniform of a brother of the Trinity House, with naval epaulettes, and was conducted to the royal pew reserved for him.
King Muene-Motapa had said to them long ago: "If he escapes, you shall be beaten to death with sticks; but if he tells me that you have not treated him respectfully, soldier ants shall eat you alive."

"Why didn't they print her picture?" And he occupied himself with trying to imagine what she looked like. By the time he was falling asleep he had decided that she must have yellow hair and large, blue eyes.

As he would not give up the gun, Peter pointed out the game. "See him?" "No." "See him? Teck keer dyah, Don, teck keer," he called, as Don came to a point just beyond. "See him?"
