In Kings Houses: A Romance of the Days of Queen Anne

Think you the King will ride to-day? Dame Dorothy laughed as she drew out the shining flax, and then let it coil, a fine silver thread, around the spindle. Robin watched the process as he sat on the floor at her feet, and in the interest of the moment he almost forgot the unanswered question. Yet the sight was by no means unfamiliar. It seemed to the child that Dame Dorothy was always spinning, spinning. But presently he bethought him. You do not tell me, he cried, impatiently. Will the King ride to-day? The dame dropped the thread, and drew the child closer to her side. The King? Truly, I know not.
