Excerpt from Memoirs of a Maid of Honour
This particular one took me in charge at once, and escorted me in silent dignity round the seemingly endless turns of a crimson-carpeted corridor, and here, for the first time, I became conscious of that peculiar, faint fragrance which is present more or less in all the Royal houses in England. A very faint perfume, except when the actual presence of Their Majesties is expected, when the Groom of the Chambers may be seen using a large scent spray about the rooms, and the perfume becomes a great deal more accentuated. It is, I am told, an extremely refined and special brand of rose-water, distilled in Germany, and first brought into use in English palaces by the early Hanoverian Kings. It is now only used by the Royal Family. It lingers in my 'mind in connection with all my memories of Windsor, Buckingham Palace, and Balmoral, and the genial presence of Their Majesties.
