WHEN the Prince was born the Queen said to the King, "My dear, do be very, very careful about the invitations. You know what fairies are. They always come to the christening whether you invite them or not, and if you forget to invite one of them she always makes herself so terribly unpleasant."
"My love," said the King, "I will invite them all," and he took out his diamond-pointed pen and wrote out the cards on the spot.
