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.

Excerpt from The Flower of England's Face: Sketches of English TravelTowards morning Chester went to bed, and we fell asleep, only to be awakened at dawn by the chiming of the cathedral bells, almost in front of our windows. It was worth waking for, - to lie there in a half dream, and hear the liquid music soar, and swell, and die away, at last, in strains too sweet for earth. In the afternoon there was a Jubilee service for the children, for which tickets were kindly sent us. Chester is one of the smaller cathedrals yet on that occa sion, though only the south transept was used, it was said that seven thousand chil dren and many grown people were seated in its wide spaces. Perhaps it should be stated that this transept is exceptionally large - nearly as large as the nave itself -and is known as the church of St. Oswald.
