The little bearer begs a kiss

From dear papa for bringing this.

The “dear papa” took his dear child in his arms, and held her close to

him for some time. Nothing could have been more charmingly natural and

affecting. For such a picture of Royalty at home we are indebted to

Fanny Burney, and, face to face with it, we are selfish enough to feel

grateful to Dr. Burney for having given his daughter for five years

to discharge a humble duty to her Sovereign and an immortal one to her

fellow-countrymen, who have read her Diary and placed it on a shelf

between Pepys and de Gramont.
