was his Majesty's pleasure?" He called for drink, which was immediately given him in a glass. As the King had not slept in a bed for a long time, but in an armed chair, the servant, put one hand under the King's head, to raise it a little, and with the other, held the glass to his mouth-In the very act of drinking, the King began to doze again; and at last. fell into a profound sleep, which lasted two full hours-During all that time, the servant did not dare to stir, lest he should disturb the rest of his royal master; and from the inconvenience of the attitude in which he stood, he was so fatigued, as to be just on the point of fainting; when, fortunately for him, his Majesty awoke. "Bless me," said the King, "I have been asleep; I believe, I have dozed away a quarter of an hour"-" Indeed, Sir," replied the servant, "You have slept two hours." "Two hours!" replied the King, "Then, poor fellow,

you must be sorely tired, you shall have something for your pains." He accordingly gave him money to the value of ten guineas.
