From Walks in London, Volume II, by Augustus Hare
OVERHEARD IN CHAPEL
"When Queen Caroline (wife of George II.) asked Mr. Whiston what fault people had to find with her conduct, he replied that the fault they most complained of was her habit of talking in chapel. She promised amendment, but proceeding to ask what other faults were objected to her, he replied, 'When your Majesty has amended this I'll tell you the next.'"
From Chapter 2, St. James Palace
