[Gutenberg 59864] • The Silver Arrow

Excerpt from The Silver Arrow

The Queen was nineteen years older than Sir Walter; that is to say, she was in her fifties, and he was in his thirties.

But Queen Bess hated old age, and swore a balibi for the swift passing years and always delighted in the title of the Vir gin Queen.
