; the manner in which the children accompany their
parents, share the walks of their father on shore, and enter into the
whole spirit of the voyage, is simply a model of the national manners
according to their best type. And while her husband and the children are
'stretching their legs' on shore, the accomplished lady is seen with her
pencil, exercising her talents by sketching the scenery around."

Her majesty's progress after the landing was such as to give her the
