Цитата: Учили Королеву рилам
Windsor Castle, Friday, Oct. 1843.
Dear Papa—After dinner, before the gentlemen came in, we had great fun teaching H.M*. to dance reels; she could not at all manage the figure of 8 ; she never got back to her place in time, and “ one, two, three, hop,” was altogether above her comprehension, she being too dignified ever to hop on one foot, which, however, is absolutely necessary in a reel. We all laughed very much, however, and amused ourselves excessively. The piper played to us, and I doubt not that he was very much edified by the anxiety of his Sovereign to learn the national dances of her Scottish subjects. . .
*H.M. – Her Majesty, Королева Виктория
