THE KING'S SHOES.
While staying at Balmoral the King always buys a pair of Highland brogues. He rides into Ballater, the nearest village to his Scottish home, on his pony, and enters a' shop where the proprietor still makes shoes by hand. After his foot has been measured, the King stays smoking and chatting with the old man, who invariably remarks as his Royal customer leaves? "Weel, I'll do ma best for Your Majesty, but I'm promises, mind."
