COPENHAGEN; WINTER 1769—SPRING 1770

Alice had her own ideas about the treatment of children and if at times these did not coincide exactly with the doting of fond mother and the theories of a doctor, she still knew that she was right. She had had experience.

She played a game with the Crown Prince of Denmark, a game with a meaning. He sat on her knees and she chanted:

“This is the way the ladies ride—trip, trip, trip.

This is the way the gentlemen ride—trot, trot, trot.

This is the way the farmers ride—jog, jog, jog.”
