He went down to Windsor with other knlghts-expectnnt who were, after lun cheon on silver plates at the Castle, ushered Into the Queen's presence, one at a time. Says Sir Richard Tangye; "My turn was the twelfth; hence one of my friends has dubbed me the Twel fth Knight. The equerry took roe to the door of thp apartment and then left me. It was a lofty room, but not very large, being perhaps forty feet long and of a corresponding width. The Queen was aeated on a very low seat at the end of the apartment opposite the door; behind her the ladles-in-waiting were arranged In a semi-circle, some of the f’rinceascs being on the left, anil the lords-ln-waiting and Duke of York on her right hand. On entering I gave my ‘best bow,’ and, advancing a few steps, stopped and bowed again, when 1 was introduced to Her Majesty (my name being pronounced wrongly); an other bow on closely upproarhlng her. und then dropping on my left knee, I extended the right hand back upper most. for the Queen has a great objee llon to moist pulms. The Queen then laid her right hand a very little, plump bund upon mine and kissed It. Then she took a sword dreadful mo ment! and smote me, ever so gently, on my left shoulder, saying In very low sweet, and soft tones, ‘Rise, Hlr Itleh uni,' and 1 became a 'dubbed' knight, but not a ‘belted one,’ as nowadays knights have to And their own belts." After being knighted, Sitr Richard Tangye came to what he regards as a very dlllb'iilt part of the ceremony. "1 had to retire from the presence ........I..

However, I stepped hack a pace, and, having steadied myself, bowed, then another half a dozen paces, bowing again, and after repeating the operation once more, to my great relief found myself at the door. ...
