People who, in the age of Queen Victoria's earlier widowhood, had sent for Batchgrew to repair a burst spout, still by force of habit sent for Batchgrew to repair a burst spout, and still had to "call at Batchgrew's" about mistakes in the bills, which mistakes, after much argument and asseveration, were occasionally put right.
You'll admit that I'd be a fool if I did! The meeting must be at some distance from your Zaouïa." The marabout raised his eyebrows superciliously. They said "So thou art afraid!" But Stephen was not to be taunted into an imprudence where Victoria's safety was at stake. "Those are our terms," he repeated. "Very well, I accept," said the Arab.
The clock turret and ornamented gable were added in commemoration of Queen Victoria's Jubilee of 1887. Little else calls for notice, but the group of timber gables in the corner near the churchyard will certainly attract the eye by their picturesque grouping.
All these conflicting elements of new history were felt in the palace as in other dwellings, and made part of Queen Victoria's life in those days. A great statesman closed his eyes on this changing world. Earl Grey, who had been in the front in advocating change in his time, died. A brave soldier fell in the last of his battles.

On the verdict being given that the disease was not cancer, the Crown Prince mounted the throne, and Queen Victoria's ambition for her daughter was realized.
Victoria's long, narrow sleeping room had the bed across one end, in Arab fashion. It was placed in an alcove and built into the wall, with pillars in front, of gilded wood, and yellow brocaded curtains of a curious, Oriental design.
Certainly her hand is everywhere discernible in Victoria's early correspondence. The Journal is written in the style of a child; the Letters are not so simple; they are the work of a child, rearranged with the minimum of alteration, no doubt, and yet perceptibly by a governess.
Lydia was thinking passionately of Mainstairs and of the deep tones of a man's voice "If you condemn and misunderstand me then indeed I shall lose heart!" A humming sound could be heard in the far distance. "Here they are," said Lady Tatham rising. Victoria's half-masculine beauty had never been so formidable as it was this afternoon.
