Perhaps this story was suggested to me by the al- lusion to your father's solitary lot, for it begins by 134 THE FRENCH FAN'S STORY.
describing the sorrow of a certain king who had lost his consort. So violent was his grief that, for eight days after the queen's death, he shut himself up in his room, refusing to speak to any one and continually beating his head against the wall. Unknown to the unfortunate monarch, his courtiers introduced cushions of down between the tapestry and the wainscot o...f his apartment, thus preserving from certain destruction the brains that were supposed to govern a mighty kingdom. Day after day, deputations of his subjects waited on him, urging the king to cheer up ; but in vain. He resolutely declined to smile, until one day, among his petitioners, appeared a woman veiled from head to foot in black crape.
" What can I do for you, my good lady ? " asked the mournful monarch.
u Alas, sire, it is little that human aid can do to com- fort me, for I am slowly dying of grief for the loss of the best of husbands, " answered the lady, sobbing bit- terly.
