The oastlo itaelf is a hugo, battlemented structure of gray stone - a fo' tress as a palace - with a homo park of five bundrsd acres, the private gr&unds of Mra Guelph, and, beyond thnt, a grand park of oighleen hundred acres. But do not imagine that she lives with only herchildren aud servants about her - this kindly Germán widow, whose throne was once in the hearts of Hor people. Royalty is a complicated affair - a wheol within a wheel - and reminds us of nothing so much as " the house that Jack burlt." Thi3 is tho Queen that lives in the Castle of Windso.r These are the ladies that 'tend on the queen that Uves in the Castle of WindBor. These are the pages that bow to the ladies that 'tend on the queen that lives in tbc Oastlo of Windsor. Theso are the lackeys that wait on the pages that bow to the ladies that 'tend on the queen that lives in the Castle of Windor. These are the soldiers, tried and sworn, that guard the crown from the unicorn, that stand by the lackeys that wait on the pages that bow to the ladies that 'tend on tho queen tha; lives in the Cas tle of Windsor. These are the "military knights" forlorn, founded by Edward before you wero born, that outrank the soldiers, tried and sworn that guard the crown froin the unicorn, that stand by the luckeys that wait on the pges that bow to the ladies that 'tend on the queen that lives in the Oastle of Windsor.

And so on. Tho train within the castle walla that follows thfl Onnp.n ia m'idlcss.
