King And Joker
“She was in Albert’s zoo after school on Friday. It was going to be one of those dispersed weekends for the Family, which Louise so hated. Mother and Nonny were already on their way to Helsinki to open a British Week. Father was off in a couple of hours for a three-day tour of the north-east. Albert was driving down after supper to the Kents—he’d asked himself for the weekend in order to chat up Soppy Windsor; in the long-running Palace sweepstake on the eventual Princess of Wales the wise money... was nowadays piling on to Lady Sophia Windsor. Mother had arranged for Louise to go down to the Yorks tomorrow morning, so Louise had arranged to keep her homework till then—it was a good deal more interesting than anything the Yorks were likely to lay on. She’d come to the zoo to tell Albert about Theale and the pianos—she hadn’t had a chance earlier, because of his rush of official engagements before the start of his university term.
