| Buckingham Palace from St. James Park |
It was June. The King and Queen were at the Palace. . . . But
how strange, on entering the Park, the silence; the mist; the hum; the
slow-swimming happy ducks; the pouched birds waddling; and who should be coming
along with his back against the Government buildings, most appropriately, carrying
a despatch box stamped with the Royal Arms, who but Hugh Whitbread; her old
friend Hugh--the admirable Hugh!
Mrs. Dalloway (25)
