And the paltry chief, and his new, royal bride, know poverty no more; they, and their children, and children's children, are provided for by the Lower House, who tax the people for this privilege, so much valued by them!--this privilege of succouring and enriching the worn out, useless and decaying chiefs of foreign Barbarians, who have any, the remotest, trace of kinship to the Royal House of England! The more considerable events, therefore, in the present reign, as the Barbarians think, have reference to these marriages of Royal Princesses, births, christenings (baptizings), deaths, and the like among them. The Low-House readily takes these opportunities to profess its homage and devotion. The Queen follows the _Sacred Writings_ with great exactness, which commands "take care of those of your own blood"--indeed, her devotion to this precept is, perhaps, more noticeable than her devotion in general. Her Illustrious presence is rarely known among the people. When she does appear, she is hardly more than respectfully and silently worshipped. She does not attract the _love_ of the people--though she is (as a sly Barbarian youth of the Low-Castes once said to me, sarcastically), very _dear_ [chean]. (A _pun_ [phu-nsi] on the word; which may mean _beloved_, or _very costly_). When, as rarely happens, to honour some Show wherein the Royal _presence_ may bring money to a Charity, the Queen appears, surrounded by Royal guards, and in State, there is always to be seen a gigantic servant, dressed in the scarlet of the Royal household, seated immediately behind the _Sacred Person_, to watch over and rescue her from any danger. His body and mighty strength are always ready to be interposed! This favourite servant, it is said, assists her Illustrious, when, among the hills of the Far North, she visits the great, high rocks, and climbs the sides of mountains--his strength is so ready, trusty, and invaluable!
