London Letter, No. 24
40 Orchard Court, W. 1.
May 28th. /
Dear Mr Vining,
I fear that my London letter is
very late this time, but I have
only just recovered from the effects
of the Coronation, which were
dire, to say the least of it! I
expect you have seen all the films
appertaining to the great day,
and are almost as tired of talking
about it as we are. I had an ex
cellent seat near the Abbey, and
sat upon it from five in the morn,
ning until three in the afternoon.
Eventually, it became a sort of
home from home, with my hat full
of sausage rolls nestling under it,
but gosh, it was hard!
I do not expect to see such a
wonderful spectacle again. The
glitter of jewels, the gaily capari
soned horses, the velvet and ermine
of the peers, the Mounties, (they
got a special cheer) the King’s
Indian Orderly Officers in turbans
riding on greys, the Australians
looking splendid in their plumed
hats, and mile upon mile of march
ing soldiers from every corner of
the Empire. Although I am sure
patriotism makes for international
dispute, I cannot tell you how dif
ficult *it was that day not to feel
that one was overwhelmingly more
marvellous than anybody else!
Suddenly one remembered that the
sun never set on the British Em
pire, and gosh, one said, that’s
pretty extraordinary when one
considers the size of England!
Isn’t it? Look at those men,
white, black, and brown. They all
belong to Don’t ask how we
got them, but N just look at them!
