the voice of panegyric. We have said that he has detached Victoria from her environment. He has also exaggerated her manifest simplicities, until now and again she appears a little ridiculous. And here again he makes for misunderstanding. Simplicity is very often the reaction from high responsibility, and Mrs P. Farquharson's red-flannel petticoat is perhaps too heavily insisted upon. But in contemplating the Queen as in contemplating Prince Albert, Mr Strachey changed his vision. He saw her now and again in the light of romance. He described her, as he should, in terms of the picturesque. She comes before his eyes, as long ago she came before the eyes of her people, a kind of fetish. And as she lay on her deathbed, blind and silent, seeming to those about divested of all thought, she had thoughts too, says Mr Strachey in a final passage of eloquence. "Perhaps her fading mind," says he, "called up once more the shadows of the past to float before it, and retraced, for the last time, the vanished

visions of that long historypassing back and back, through the cloud of years, to older and ever older memories,-to the spring woods at Osborne, so full of primroses for Lord Beaconsfield, to Lord Palmerston's queer clothes and high demeanour, and Albert's face under the green lamp, and Albert's first stay at Balmoral, and Albert in his blue and silver uniform, and the Baron coming in through a doorway, and Lord M., dreaming at Windsor with the rooks cawing in the elm-trees, and the Archbishop of Canterbury on his knees in the dawn, and the old King's turkey-cock ejaculations, and Uncle Leopold's soft voice at Claremont, and Lehzen with the globes, and her mother's feathers sweeping down towards her, and a great old repeater - watch of her father's in its tortoise-shell case, and a yellow rug, and some friendly flounces of sprigged muslin, and the trees and the grass of Kensington." A just conclusion to a sketch, if not of a great Queen, as it might have been, of a living breathing woman.
