I glow with admiration.
Yours sincerely, GREY OF FALLODON One Englishman who was especially touched by the action of the United States was His Majesty the King.

Few men had watched the course of America during the war with more intelligent interest than the head of the British royal house.

Page had had many interviews with King George at Buckingham Palace and at Windsor, and his notes contain many appreciative remarks on the King's high character and conscientious devotion to his duties.

That Page in general did not believe in kings and emperors as institutions his letters reveal; yet even so profound a Republican as he recognized sterling character, whether in a crowned head or in a humble citizen, and he had seen enough of King George to respect him.

Moreover, the peculiar limitations of the British monarchy certainly gave it an unusual position and even saved it from much of the criticism that was fairly lavished upon such nations as Germany and Austria.
