History
Fountains of Papal Rome
MacVeagh, Fanny Davenport Rogers
Fountains -- Italy -- Rome
Daddy Crump, Fanny Burney’s old gossip, while sojourning in Rome
attended a carnival ball at a certain palace, where he saw many
notables, among them King James III, as he was always called in
Rome, and his two young sons--Prince Charles Edward and Henry,
Duke of York. There were numbers of English among the guests, and,
characteristically, they did not mingle with the other nationalities,
but grouped themselves together in a solid mass at one end of the
ballroom. Suddenly, while all were watching the dancers, King James,
taking advantage of his mask and official incognito, crossed the room
and placed himself in the front rank of his fellow countrymen. The
moment was psychic, but the “loyal subjects of the House of Hanover”
“took not the slightest notice of him” while he stood as his forebears
had stood--an English king among his own people. Daddy Crump relates
with smug satisfaction that the “English never moved an eyelid”
during those few minutes when their hereditary sovereign assuaged the
passionate homesickness of his exile heart with a brief and tragic
make-believe.
