Trollope

Lured into the parlor pastime of "Confessing Things I Have Missed," H. R. H. the Duchess of York confessed that she has never:.

Driven a team of horses. Swung in a "swingboat" at a fair. Ridden pillion on a motorcycle. Witnessed either the Oxford-Cambridge boat race or the Lord Mayor's Show.

H. R. H. recalled, however, having ridden in a switchback at Wembley Fair in 1924 with her brother-in-law, Edward of Wales, who mischievously calls her "Queen Elizabeth."* News of the Duchess' "confession" was bracketed in British papers with this ultrasafe revelation: His Majesty the King-Emperor still reads and rereads Dickens, Thackeray and Trollope, has lately been dipping into Conrad.

Asked "What is your favorite flower?" H. R. H. the Duke of Gloucester, third Royal Son, neatly replied, "Flowers of all kinds appeal to me."

*If George V and Edward of Wales should both die (or if the latter should renege), the Duke of York would become King Albert I, the Duchess Queen Elizabeth.
