I met her the other day on _Fifth Avenue_, walking beside that _odious_ bath-chair, which the freckled boy was pushing.

She looked so _lovely_ (for she is prettier than ever, with a fine color and eyes like _stars_), and was talking so earnestly, and walking somehow as if she were treading on air, it sent a PANG through my heart.

I just paused an instant (for though I _trust_ I am not SNOBBISH, Helen, still, I _draw the line_ at bath-chairs, and will _not_ be seen standing by one), and said in a low tone, meant _only_ for _her ear_, 'Ah! has _Queen Hildegarde_ come to _this_ ?' My dear, she only LAUGHED! But that _girl_, that cripple, looked up with a smile and a sort of flash over her face, and said, just as if she _knew_ me, 'Yes, Miss Everton! the Queen has come to her kingdom!'"
