Excerpt from Queen Anne and Her Court, Vol. 2 Standing at her casement in St. James's Palace, a lady, careworn far beyond her seven-and-thirty years, looked out over the Park, glittering under the sun of a lovely spring morn of the year 1702. In that old palace had come to her many a change of fortune. It had witnessed the joys and griefs of her childhood, in its galleries she had played with Mary, through its shadows she had often stolen to the tiny bed of little Isabelle, there had her brother been ushered into history, and now to St. James's had come the message that during long years she had longed for, the message which she had of late feared would never come. The careworn lady was Anne Stuart, already for one full minute Queen of England. For the blue of the sky, clear this morning as some wondrous enamel, for the alluring green of the Park the Queen had no eyes. In the rush of thought, the tide of tumultuous emotions, she could not think or speak. She was oblivious of the lady-in-waiting - was Her Majesty!
