She gave a joyous hop-skip-and-jump along the platform and almost plumped into Byng of Vimy. He, deftly sidestepping, punctiliously bowed to irrepressible "Baby Betty," Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth, only granddaughter and unspoiled darling of George V. When His Majesty followed the babe it was seen at once that he did look younger. His cheeks were a breeze-tanned brown. Faultlessly groomed, firm of step...
