Once, on visiting Greenwich, a countryman awaited her on the road where she was taking her usual morning walk with some ladies of her Court. ‘Which of you,’ inquired he, in a loud voice, ‘is the good Queen Bess?’ The Queen, turning graciously to him in the sweetest way, answered, ‘My good man, I am Queen Elizabeth ; what wouldest thou have me to do for thee?’ ‘You!’ rejoined the farmer, with affected as- tonishment at the Queen; ‘you are the Queen!
