Th story of this romance Is best told by one of those who 'took part In th vents, who relates It as follows: ' '' "In th early part or Jun a cottage at Seabrlght was rented by a party of actors.

The presentation at courtwas not Mr. Long-worth's flrt meeting with the king, for aha had met and talked with him at a dinner given by Ambas sador Held, but the meeting of royalty In the drawing-room or around tha table of a frlend'a house-la far different from the formal preeentatlon at court which, to say the least.
