ABSTRACT
THERE is little to add that our historians have not placed on minute record. Immediately upon her coronation Karyl demanded an old privilege, which was granted, of releasing certain chosen prisoners from their penalties. Among those set free by the new Queen were the poor woman who had killed her child to save it from starvation, and the girl who had shot her evil lover, both of whom lay under sentence of penal servitude for life. Moreover, she saw that both were properly provided for, and started well in their free life. This done, she set herself religiously to the task she had begun, of attempting to cleanse the sewers of the State, right the wrongs of the weak, crush the demons of selfishness and materialism that had so long threatened England’s downfall, and, above all, raise the status of woman.
