Pamphlet. 48 p.; 18.5 cm. `One might give numberless illustrations of the friendly, manly helpfulness which Brown was ever ready to display towards the Queen, but I am more concerned to display the homely human simplicity of their life when delivered from the unreal ceremonials of a court, and will here set down two anecdotes illustrative thereof. They show the strong natural human bond which marked the friendship of the two, as well as the frankness and freedom of the intercourse which Her Most Gracious Majesty found so restful and refreshing in the seclusion of Osborne or Balmoral. The first incident I shall relate occurred during one of their quiet walks on Deeside. Her Majesty, leaning of the arm of the ever faithful John, had come in one of her walks to a little stream which soaked its way through mossy banks to the river. It was but a tiny rivulet, but at the place where she struck it the ground on either bank was spongy, and Her Majesty hesitated to jump across. John Brown did not hesitate. With one manly stride he was over, and, turning round, he held out his hand, at one and the same time to invite the Queen to follow, and to help her. Still Her Majesty hesitated, gathering up her garments doubtfully, fearful of the wet moss. Seeing her thus timorous, and growing impatient, John gave his hand a half-imperious, half-encouraging wave, and cried in his rich, northern Diric, "Hoot, loup! deil a fear o' ye; ye winna fa' in!" Thus encouraged, and with a trustful smile, Her Gracious Majesty put her hand in John's, leaped as she was bid, and landed safe beside him on the dry heath.' (p. 43 f.) Good, removed. Foxing to end leaves.
