During one of King Edward’s visits to Marienbad in Austria, this
incident occurred:
A little girl of thirteen named Vera Caro, who has always had a
great wish to see the King, was walking in the Kaiserstrasse,
when she suddenly came face to face with his Majesty, who was
seated on a bench. The little girl impulsively walked up to the
King, and curtseying presented to him a few roses which she was
carrying. The King took the flowers, shook hands with the child,
and thanked her. His Majesty then requested Colonel Ponsonby to
place the flowers in the carriage which was waiting near. The
little girl, radiant with joy at the King’s kindness, rushed
home to inform her parents of her good fortune.
