The portraits may be considered accurate, as they were painted after several hun- dred years of anxious study by the artist. There were sev- eral pictures of Robert Bruce, and a mighty hard struggle to spell his name in mongrel English or Latin. They had it Evgenvis Robertvis Brvssivs. I don't know what Evgenvis was for ; but I presume it was where they ploughed around to get a start. From the picture-gallery is a passage leading ENGLAND FROM A BACK-WINDOW. 2// into the tower, and on the floors... above are shown the apart- ments of Queen Mary and her unfortunate husband Lord Darnley, Darnley's rooms were on the floor below those of his wife. For some time she had neglected him, — even to shutting him out from her chambers, when a favorite, an Italian named Rizzio, was admitted. They had many quar- rels, when he would talk back, and she would throw skillets and rolling-pins. I never heard any one say so ; but I am married myself. Mary was a schemer (being a widow be- fore marrying Darnley) ; and Rizzio was a schemer also, in the interests of France and Spain.
