First lines
His Majesty King George III stood gazing from a corridor window of the royal palace. For all practical purposes he was alone, and the equerries and others attendant on the sovereign presence flitted almost as remote in actuality as they figured to his mental vision. They were shadows, no more -- little blots of bile, too minute to intercept his view of things, though collectively, as denoting a bodily condition, a source of irritation.
