Tlie chilly mists of morning hung over Sandringham as a little group of people passed down the winding path to the village church of St. Mary Magdalene. It was the Princess Royal, pale faced and grave eyed, with her ladies-in-waiting on their way t.> early Communion celebrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury. In tiie dim. quietness a handful of household servants and tenants knelt in silent prayer for King George. Tlie Archbishop, in a low but calm voice, asked the tiny congregation to join him in asking God’s blessing for the new King already taking up tlie burdens his father laid down.
