Just FYI. I haven't really decided how far I'm digging into this. Background, the famous, and very old, Willows Restaurant on Oahu has always claimed to be on property once owned by Kamāmalu. History of the Willows. In its hey-day, a very famous place for local celebrities in Hawaii to be seen. So, I've been gradually scanning through the pages of Men and Women of Hawaii, and ran across the image of Emma Kaleionamoku Hausten who very much looks like she could be Hawaiian. pp293-294 Possible article by me (or not...depending on sources). She's the woman who first opened the Willows restaurant in the mid-late 1930s. She was born on Maui in 1878 to Chang Ai and Kahalekenekaoli Kaluahine. According to the restaurant "about" info, she somehow came into possession of the land/house now known as the Willows. Don't know if this is a link to anything you're working on, but thought I'd drop it here in case it means anything to you. — Maile ( talk) 16:11, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
I'm in a long-term process of re-organizing how I access my saved basic sources, and checking/discarding if anything is dead or moved. Do you know about the Cornell University Making of America search page? I don't know if Cornell took it over from Univ of Michigan Making of America, but Cornell seems to have a better search page, IMO. I did a basic search on Liliuokalani and came up with some irrelevant results, but also these: The Hawaiian Situation I: The Invasion of Hawaii, The Hawaiian Situation II: A Plea for Annexation. — Maile ( talk) 22:17, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

The article Kaniakapupu you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Kaniakapupu for things which need to be addressed.

I am closing your 13 May resource request for Gynberg Ballads as stale because in three months no one has been able to fulfill it.
The holders of four of the five extant copies explicitly prohibit your request. Official reasons range from restrictions under which the item was gifted to the physical condition of the item. Also, most special collections departments are forced to act as profit centers. If they release an image that anyone can access for free, then they can no longer charge individual researchers for access.
The sole exception is University of Michigan. I've requested that they digitize their copy. Whether they actually do so is at the discretion of the relevant special collections curator. If they do, it will be according to their own specifications and timeline (usually 2-3 months). I don't have high hopes, but I'll let you know if they come through. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 23:38, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:04, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello Kavebear:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Nani Alapai has been completed.
The only significant change I made is with this sentence: "She accompanied the band on many of their 1905 visits to the continental United States." Since it seems unlikely that that band made "many" visits to the US I changed the sentence to read "... appearances in the continental United States." If this is incorrect you'll need to revert that edit.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi KAVEBEAR. I am looking to encourage suitable editors to review more articles at WP:GAN. Currently you have 21 nominations awaiting review and as you are probably aware there is a large backlog. This means you and other editors may have to wait months before your articles are reviewed. I can not find any records of reviews you may have done at User:GA bot/Stats, but looking at your user page I see you have helped promote 26 articles to Good Status. This suggests that you are familiar with the criteria and should be able to contribute to reviews. Without editors reviewing articles the process falls apart. If you need some help with reviewingfeel free to ask me or leave a note at the help desk. Regards AIRcorn (talk) 11:20, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
You might already know about this. While searching through the HathiTrust, I found Memoirs of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum of Polynesian Ethnology and Natural History (multiple volumes 1899-several decades). Depending on what you're interested in, I was just browsing and found Vol VI is the Abraham Fornander collection of Hawaiian antiquities and folklore. There folklore in both Hawaiian language and the English translation. There's a 2-page contents section that lists the folklore. haven't had a chance to browse the other volumes. — Maile ( talk) 14:30, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

If you wander back this way, Ephraim Weston Clark. Trying to find enough pieces to get a basic article on this Kawaihao Church minister. Frustrating. He seems to have arrived in Hawaii before English language newspapers were interested in him personally. The best coverage on him at "Autobiographical Notes of Ephraim W. Clark". The Friend. 91: 82–83, 85. April 1922. was something he wrote himself. Fascinating stuff, but I can't use it because it's technically OR. This particular reverend may have to be abandoned for a while. — Maile ( talk) 21:40, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

He was prolific writer. Many of his personal letters are cited in Kuykendall's books.
Just an FYI. I think you're the one who left the redlink at WIP missing Oceana articles, about Mary Maihiai, (1883-1912/13) alleged Hawaiian centenarian. I thought of that just now when I was searching through available sources for William Kamau, the Kahu who came after Akaiko Akana at Kawaiahaʻo. The information in the newspaper came from William Kamau.This woman's name is Kaahaina Naihe. It says she might have even been 118 years old.

In trying to find sources on when Rev. Edward Kahale (Kawaiahao) died, I ran across a newspaper item about his officiating at Sammy Amalu's 4th marriage. Then I found you'd done the article on his ancestor Miriam Auhea Kekāuluohi Crowningburg. If you're collecting sourcing on Amalu, here's one:
Oh... well here's the tie-in to the two love birds. Kind of surprised Rev. Kahale got involved in marrying them. However, I find nothing on Kahale after that 1973 wedding, not even his death date.

Found while researching A Akaka, when he was pastor at a church in Hilo. One of his dedication ceremonies at the new Kona Palms, a small 38-room hotel. In the image, he's touching, " ... the old stone of King Kamehameha I and Queen Kaahamanu residence still at the site". Also mentions Liholiho spent a lot of time at that house. Kamakahonu or maybe Hulihe'e Palace? What happened to that stone?
The hotel was sold to Lorrin P. Thurston of the Advertiser in 1964
A web search says it was "probably was next to the Mokuaikaua Church". It might have been sold by Thurston and fallen to the 1960s-1970s resort construction boom. Or it might have survived, could now be Uncle Billy's Kona Bay Hotel, 75-5739 Alii Dr, Kailua-Kona. As a matter of curiosity, I'm more interested in that stone and what happened to it. — Maile ( talk) 12:58, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Lucy Kaopaulu Peabody has been completed.
I believe I fixed this sentence—The younger Lift lived in Kona, before going to Honolulu to be raised by her aunt and learn English.
—correctly. I changed "Lift" to "Lucy". I just wanted to be certain this is correct.
Also, you have not mentioned it specifically, but I am assuming Peabody never married or had children? This might be worth mentioning-perhaps in the second sentence of the final paragraph mentioning he date of death.
Best of luck with the GA process.

Use or not, as you would. I use tabs on my Wikipedia pages, so this is the only way I know to tell you this. Sometimes on reviews, FAC for instance, somebody will make a comment about using an en dash instead of an em dash, etc. I downloaded a script to my commons.js years ago (more info can be found at User talk:GregU/dashes.js)
importScript("User:GregU/dashes.js");
So, it added a tab to the top of all my pages that looks like a little dash. If I click on it, the script automatically checks and corrects any inconsistencies of dashes in the article. Enjoy, should you care to use. — Maile ( talk) 19:46, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi! I was wondering if you'd ever given any thought to conducting some GA reviews. As someone who has several articles that have gone through the process it seems like you would understand it well and history (which appears to be your area of interest) is one that has a much longer than normal wait time (the median wait time is 126 days vs 74 overall). It would also potentially reduce the queue to allow some of your 20 nominations to draw attention and be reviewed. Best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 23:04, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

If no one fulfills your RX request on Pa'u riding, you might use Sci-Hub. An RX editor recommended it to me. It bypasses paywalls so it's semi-legal; I find it useful occasionally for Wikipedia research/citations when I'm in a hurry or no one has fulfilled my RX request. Just input the DOI number and it should bring up the document. Sometimes you have to check around to see which Sci-Hub domain is actually working -- they get shut down and such. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it if you don't know about it. Softlavender ( talk) 05:16, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Aloha KaveBEar:
I am not sure I am doing this correctly as I am new to modifying entries and communicating about them.
Could we have a conversation about this point? I can be emailed at SteveLaudig@gmail.com. I believe that I can present evidence that there is a distinction that needs recognition between the term "Hawaiian Kingdom" and "Kingdom of Hawaii". They are not synonyms. I propose we discuss it since you object to the changes. The summary of the argument is that the "Kingdom of Hawai'i" would apply until unification after that the almost uniform reference made by the government itself as "Hawaiian Kingdom" not "Kingdom of Hawaii", as evidenced in official documents, including 1852 Constitution Title 1864 Constitution Art. 47 73 76
1887 Constitution Art. 11; 20 45 46 59 76 Signature page
Nearly all treaties use the term "King of Hawaiian Islands" The http://hawaiiankingdom.org/pdf/Sweden_Norway_Treaty.pdf "That His late Majesty King Kamehameha III. , having authorized a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation, with an additional article thereto annexed, between the Hawaiian Kingdom and the Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway, which was concluded, signed and sealed on the first of July, 1852, by our respective..."
I have found no instance of it systematically calling itself the "Kingdom of Hawaii"
This is just a sample. I assume we share an interest in factual accuracy. And the "Kingdom of Hawaii" is, in my opinion, inaccurate even if used and it needs if not "retirement" an explanation that it isn't a synonym.
If one searches on the term "Supreme Court of the Kingdom of the Hawaiian Islands" one gets returns to the official court reports. So the executive branch refers to the country as the "Kingdom of the Hawaiian Islands" as does the judicial branch. Likewise the legislative branch. https://books.google.com/books/about/Members_of_the_Hawaiian_Kingdom_House_of.html?id=XitqmQEACAAJ
That an error is widespread seems no argument for not correcting it.
It knew itself as the "Hawaiian Kingdom" or "Kingdom of the Hawaiian Islands" not as the "Kingdom of Hawaii" and I am of the opinion that this judgement should be respected.
Please accept this invitation in the spirit it which is offered.
I look forward to your response.

On the Reference desk/Language, section 'Word for "more" than just ambiguous', please add the following comment:
Responding to Tamfang, Anachronist could indeed have said "from 1986" or even "from October 1986". My instinct is that the phrase was used in contradistinction to "early 1960s" in the previous comment. Here's an example from the Oxford English Dictionary which proves Baseball Bugs wrong:

I read it:
PRINCE DAVID KALAKAUA, who was chosen, February 12th, 1874, almost unanimously by the Legislative Assembly to be the King of the Hawaiian Islands, was born at Honolulu on the 16th of November, 1836, and is therefore in his thirty-ninth year. He is the son of the late Hon. C. Kapaakea and the late High Chiefess Keohokalole, who were connected with the various branches of the High Chiefs descended from the ancient sovereigns. He received a good education at the Royal School, and has filled various public positions, which have given him an opportunity to acquire an extensive knowledge of international law, and fit him to act as sovereign of his native country. In 1863 he married the young Chiefess Kapiolani, daughter of the Hawaiian Chief Keawe, and niece of Keliahonui, a chief of Kauai, and thus consolidated the interests of some of the most influential families of the kingdom.
In his personal appearance the King is a stout, portly gentleman. His complexion is dark, and his side-whiskers and hair are black and curly. He has the easy, self-possessed air of a man of the world. He goes about attired in a suit of black broadcloth of the latest and most fashionable cut. On the lapel of his coat is pinned a small strip of parti-colored ribbon indicating the royal Order with which (Continued on page 279)

Just FYI. I haven't really decided how far I'm digging into this. Background, the famous, and very old, Willows Restaurant on Oahu has always claimed to be on property once owned by Kamāmalu. History of the Willows. In its hey-day, a very famous place for local celebrities in Hawaii to be seen. So, I've been gradually scanning through the pages of Men and Women of Hawaii, and ran across the image of Emma Kaleionamoku Hausten who very much looks like she could be Hawaiian. pp293-294 Possible article by me (or not...depending on sources). She's the woman who first opened the Willows restaurant in the mid-late 1930s. She was born on Maui in 1878 to Chang Ai and Kahalekenekaoli Kaluahine. According to the restaurant "about" info, she somehow came into possession of the land/house now known as the Willows.

I am closing your 13 May resource request for Gynberg Ballads as stale because in three months no one has been able to fulfill it.
The holders of four of the five extant copies explicitly prohibit your request. Official reasons range from restrictions under which the item was gifted to the physical condition of the item. Also, most special collections departments are forced to act as profit centers. If they release an image that anyone can access for free, then they can no longer charge individual researchers for access.
The sole exception is University of Michigan. I've requested that they digitize their copy. Whether they actually do so is at the discretion of the relevant special collections curator. If they do, it will be according to their own specifications and timeline (usually 2-3 months). I don't have high hopes, but I'll let you know if they come through. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 23:38, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles.

Hello Kavebear:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Nani Alapai has been completed.
The only significant change I made is with this sentence: "She accompanied the band on many of their 1905 visits to the continental United States." Since it seems unlikely that that band made "many" visits to the US I changed the sentence to read "... appearances in the continental United States." If this is incorrect you'll need to revert that edit.

Hi KAVEBEAR. I am looking to encourage suitable editors to review more articles at WP:GAN. Currently you have 21 nominations awaiting review and as you are probably aware there is a large backlog. This means you and other editors may have to wait months before your articles are reviewed. I can not find any records of reviews you may have done at User:GA bot/Stats, but looking at your user page I see you have helped promote 26 articles to Good Status. This suggests that you are familiar with the criteria and should be able to contribute to reviews. Without editors reviewing articles the process falls apart. If you need some help with reviewingfeel free to ask me or leave a note at the help desk. Regards AIRcorn (talk) 11:20, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
You might already know about this. While searching through the HathiTrust, I found Memoirs of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum of Polynesian Ethnology and Natural History (multiple volumes 1899-several decades). Depending on what you're interested in, I was just browsing and found Vol VI is the Abraham Fornander collection of Hawaiian antiquities and folklore. There folklore in both Hawaiian language and the English translation.

Aloha- I'm a documentary filmmaker, working with Pacific Islanders in Communications on a new project involving James Harbottle Boyd. I found you as the editor of the Wiki about him, and was wondering if you might have a chance to chat with me about his history and possible sources. I'm especially interested in an article he wrote for Thrums Almanac on "Tradition of the Wizard Stones of Ka-Pae-Mahu." I've never used Wiki to communicate, but you can also reach me at deanhamer@aol.com. Mahalo!

On 28 November 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Independence Day (Hawaii), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Hawaiian Independence Day, on November 28, commemorates the Anglo-Franco Proclamation recognizing the independence of the Kingdom of Hawaii? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Independence Day (Hawaii). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Independence Day (Hawaii)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

If you wander back this way, Ephraim Weston Clark. Trying to find enough pieces to get a basic article on this Kawaihao Church minister. Frustrating. He seems to have arrived in Hawaii before English language newspapers were interested in him personally. The best coverage on him at "Autobiographical Notes of Ephraim W. Clark". The Friend. 91: 82–83, 85. April 1922. was something he wrote himself. Fascinating stuff, but I can't use it because it's technically OR. This particular reverend may have to be abandoned for a while. — Maile ( talk) 21:40, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
Try searching Ephraim Clark. A lot more sources mention him as that. [12]. Searchers from Hawaiian Historical Society [13]...Manoa scholarspace [14]...-- KAVEBEAR ( talk) 22:58, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
He was prolific writer. Many of his personal letters are cited in Kuykendall's books.
Just an FYI. I think you're the one who left the redlink at WIP missing Oceana articles, about Mary Maihiai, (1883-1912/13) alleged Hawaiian centenarian. I thought of that just now when I was searching through available sources for William Kamau, the Kahu who came after Akaiko Akana at Kawaiahaʻo. The information in the newspaper came from William Kamau.This woman's name is Kaahaina Naihe. It says she might have even been 118 years old. Maybe poi is good for longevity? — Maile ( talk) 19:57, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

In trying to find sources on when Rev. Edward Kahale (Kawaiahao) died, I ran across a newspaper item about his officiating at Sammy Amalu's 4th marriage. Then I found you'd done the article on his ancestor Miriam Auhea Kekāuluohi Crowningburg. If you're collecting sourcing on Amalu, here's one:
Oh... well here's the tie-in to the two love birds. Kind of surprised Rev. Kahale got involved in marrying them. However, I find nothing on Kahale after that 1973 wedding, not even his death date.
Amalu was an interesting character, a small-time version of Celso Caesar Moreno. — Maile ( talk) 14:03, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Found while researching A Akaka, when he was pastor at a church in Hilo. One of his dedication ceremonies at the new Kona Palms, a small 38-room hotel. In the image, he's touching, " ... the old stone of King Kamehameha I and Queen Kaahamanu residence still at the site". Also mentions Liholiho spent a lot of time at that house. Kamakahonu or maybe Hulihe'e Palace? What happened to that stone?
The hotel was sold to Lorrin P. Thurston of the Advertiser in 1964
A web search says it was "probably was next to the Mokuaikaua Church". It might have been sold by Thurston and fallen to the 1960s-1970s resort construction boom. Or it might have survived, could now be Uncle Billy's Kona Bay Hotel, 75-5739 Alii Dr, Kailua-Kona. As a matter of curiosity, I'm more interested in that stone and what happened to it. — Maile ( talk) 12:58, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Lucy Kaopaulu Peabody has been completed.
I believe I fixed this sentence—The younger Lift lived in Kona, before going to Honolulu to be raised by her aunt and learn English.
—correctly. I changed "Lift" to "Lucy". I just wanted to be certain this is correct.
Also, you have not mentioned it specifically, but I am assuming Peabody never married or had children? This might be worth mentioning-perhaps in the second sentence of the final paragraph mentioning he date of death.
Best of luck with the GA process.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Use or not, as you would. I use tabs on my Wikipedia pages, so this is the only way I know to tell you this. Sometimes on reviews, FAC for instance, somebody will make a comment about using an en dash instead of an em dash, etc. I downloaded a script to my commons.js years ago (more info can be found at User talk:GregU/dashes.js)
importScript("User:GregU/dashes.js");
So, it added a tab to the top of all my pages that looks like a little dash. If I click on it, the script automatically checks and corrects any inconsistencies of dashes in the article. Enjoy, should you care to use. — Maile ( talk) 19:46, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi! I was wondering if you'd ever given any thought to conducting some GA reviews. As someone who has several articles that have gone through the process it seems like you would understand it well and history (which appears to be your area of interest) is one that has a much longer than normal wait time (the median wait time is 126 days vs 74 overall). It would also potentially reduce the queue to allow some of your 20 nominations to draw attention and be reviewed. Best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 23:04, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

If no one fulfills your RX request on Pa'u riding, you might use Sci-Hub. An RX editor recommended it to me. It bypasses paywalls so it's semi-legal; I find it useful occasionally for Wikipedia research/citations when I'm in a hurry or no one has fulfilled my RX request. Just input the DOI number and it should bring up the document. Sometimes you have to check around to see which Sci-Hub domain is actually working -- they get shut down and such.

I do have one question. According to the article, Moses was expelled from the school, and this is evidence that Lot is the father. I'm not sure I see the connection. I would think that if Moses had been the father, it would lead to his expulsion. Could Lot have been the one to be expelled?

Aloha KaveBEar:
I am not sure I am doing this correctly as I am new to modifying entries and communicating about them.
Could we have a conversation about this point? I can be emailed at SteveLaudig@gmail.com. I believe that I can present evidence that there is a distinction that needs recognition between the term "Hawaiian Kingdom" and "Kingdom of Hawaii". They are not synonyms. I propose we discuss it since you object to the changes. The summary of the argument is that the "Kingdom of Hawai'i" would apply until unification after that the almost uniform reference made by the government itself as "Hawaiian Kingdom" not "Kingdom of Hawaii", as evidenced in official documents, including 1852 Constitution Title 1864 Constitution Art. 47 73 76
1887 Constitution Art. 11; 20 45 46 59 76 Signature page
Nearly all treaties use the term "King of Hawaiian Islands" The http://hawaiiankingdom.org/pdf/Sweden_Norway_Treaty.pdf "That His late Majesty King Kamehameha III. , having authorized a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation, with an additional article thereto annexed, between the Hawaiian Kingdom and the Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway, which was concluded, signed and sealed on the first of July, 1852, by our respective..."
I have found no instance of it systematically calling itself the "Kingdom of Hawaii"
This is just a sample. I assume we share an interest in factual accuracy. And the "Kingdom of Hawaii" is, in my opinion, inaccurate even if used and it needs if not "retirement" an explanation that it isn't a synonym.
If one searches on the term "Supreme Court of the Kingdom of the Hawaiian Islands" one gets returns to the official court reports. So the executive branch refers to the country as the "Kingdom of the Hawaiian Islands" as does the judicial branch. Likewise the legislative branch. https://books.google.com/books/about/Members_of_the_Hawaiian_Kingdom_House_of.html?id=XitqmQEACAAJ
That an error is widespread seems no argument for not correcting it.
It knew itself as the "Hawaiian Kingdom" or "Kingdom of the Hawaiian Islands" not as the "Kingdom of Hawaii" and I am of the opinion that this judgement should be respected.
Please accept this invitation in the spirit it which is offered.
I look forward to your response.

On the Reference desk/Language, section 'Word for "more" than just ambiguous', please add the following comment:
Responding to Tamfang, Anachronist could indeed have said "from 1986" or even "from October 1986". My instinct is that the phrase was used in contradistinction to "early 1960s" in the previous comment. Here's an example from the Oxford English Dictionary which proves Baseball Bugs wrong:

I read it:
PRINCE DAVID KALAKAUA, who was chosen, February 12th, 1874, almost unanimously by the Legislative Assembly to be the King of the Hawaiian Islands, was born at Honolulu on the 16th of November, 1836, and is therefore in his thirty-ninth year. He is the son of the late Hon. C. Kapaakea and the late High Chiefess Keohokalole, who were connected with the various branches of the High Chiefs descended from the ancient sovereigns. He received a good education at the Royal School, and has filled various public positions, which have given him an opportunity to acquire an extensive knowledge of international law, and fit him to act as sovereign of his native country. In 1863 he married the young Chiefess Kapiolani, daughter of the Hawaiian Chief Keawe, and niece of Keliahonui, a chief of Kauai, and thus consolidated the interests of some of the most influential families of the kingdom.
In his personal appearance the King is a stout, portly gentleman. His complexion is dark, and his side-whiskers and hair are black and curly. He has the easy, self-possessed air of a man of the world. He goes about attired in a suit of black broadcloth of the latest and most fashionable cut. On the lapel of his coat is pinned a small strip of parti-colored ribbon indicating the royal Order with which (Continued on page 279)
