The flamesdanced in miniature from every gleaming square of window pane, flickering redly upon the crowds that sweatedand drank and shouted amidst the smoke. Above the roarof song and laughter the bells of Londons hundredchurches rang discordantly and the guns of the Towerthundered pompously. There was so much noise that itpenetrated far beyond the walls and liberties of London,gathered force from the smaller but equally vociferousthrongs of Westminster and rolled echoing across theThames. It could even be heard faintly at St. Jamess, thegoodly manor house which Henry VIII had built a centuryago for Anne Boleyn.i Here, on this twentyninth of May, 1630, England hadbeen given a Prince of Wales. A real English Prince, thepeople were crying joyfully. For to them it was enoughthat he was born on English soil Englishmen on this day ofthanksgiving were not inclined to quibble because he cameof a ScotDanish father and a FrancoItalian mother. Theyonly rejoiced that when it pleased God to call His GraciousMajesty Charles the First to his Scottish forefathers,England would be ruled once more by a man who hadlearned in his cradle to love the land. The Englishman of1630 was easily sentimental about the land, and scornedto conceal the kindly weakness under an affectation ofpolite frigidity. The Elizabethan tradition was still strong,and when he had emotions he displayed them boldly tothe world.
