The Queen arrived at the bazaar planning to stay for a quarter of an hour; she was so fascinated that she remained for three-quarters of an hour. these are some of the things the And Queen bought,
A willow' tea set (1s.) A 21-piece ten set. (68.) A handbag (s. 11d.) A rug (2s. 118.)
A baby doll (5s.)
Two Bibles (18, 6d, each).
A volume of Shakespeare (3s,
