The Heart of a Queen

By W. N. Hartshorn

QUEEN VICTORIA was once visiting one of the large cities of England, where a choir of three or four thousand boys and girls was gathered on a great wooden platform to sing a song of welcome. The next morning after the queen had returned to her palace, she ordered a telegram sent to the mayor of the city. It had no reference to the civic formalities or public functions of her visit, but read: “The queen wishes to know, Did the children all get home safely?” No more momentous question can be asked by monarch, by nation, or by parents: Will the children reach home safely?—W. N. Hartshorn.
