Near a grave in a corner of the ohurchyard he noticed a lady with a little giri (the latter bout twelve years of age) to whom she was relating the story of the " Dairyman's Daughter, whose remains lay beneath their feet. As the lady proceeded with the narrative he observed the little girl lift up her eyes fiilled with tears, and heard her say that she would try and be as good as the dairyman's daughter. After planting a beautiful lily on the grave they walked slowly away. The gentleman, upon making inquiry, found that tho lady was the Duchess of Kent and the little girl her daughter.
