`` Well , I could n't rightly say , your Majesty , but I 'm sure I 've seen pictures of kings and such like wearing trains which were borne by pages , so I feel sure your Majesty would be safe in wearing one . '' So it was arranged that , after having been carefully brushed , his Majesty 's velvet cloak was to be gaily decorated with lace and large bunches of flowers , and , to make the thing complete , a large bouquet was tied around his sceptre , and , at the Rhymester 's suggestion , little knots of flowers were attached to the knobs of his Majesty 's crown . The little man was highly delighted with his appearance when all these arrangements were concluded , and could get but very little sleep that night for thinking of the great honour which was to be his the next day . The whole household was early astir in the morning , and at about eleven o'clock the carriage came to take the royal guests to the station . Arrived at Waterloo , the Doctor-in-Law , after making various inquiries as to the price of the tickets , etc. , actually had the meanness , despite the remonstrance of the railway officials , to insist upon the whole party travelling down third-class , remarking that he `` found the third-class carriages reached there quite as soon as the first , and a penny saved was a penny gained . '' The station master at Windsor was particularly put out about it , as , in honour of his Majesty 's visit , the station had been gaily decorated and a carpet laid down to the carriage door . His Majesty , however , made a brave show as he walked up the platform preceded by the Doctor-in-Law , his gaily decorated train borne by the Rhymester , and followed by A. Fish , Esq. , and One-and-Nine , the latter carrying a mysterious bandbox , which contained a present from the Wallypug to her Majesty .
