THREE EXTRAORDINARY FACTS.
habit of attending regularly. * As soon as he was perceived
by the Queen, she said to him, ’Well, Mr. Assessor, have you
seen my brother?’ Swedenborg answered, ’ No ; ’ whereupon
she replied, ’ If you should see him, remember me to him.’
In saying this, she did but jest, and had no thought of asking
him any information about her brother. Eight days after
wards Swedenborg came again to court, but so early that the
Queen had not left her apartment called the white room,
where she was conversing with her maids of honour and other
ladies of the court. Swedenborg did not wait for the Queen’s
coming out, but entered directly into her apartment, and
whispered in her ear. The Queen, struck with astonishment,
was taken ill, and did not recover herself for some time. After
she was come to herself, she said to those about her, ’ There
is only God and my brother who can know what he has just
told me.’ She owned that he had spoken of her last corre
spondence with the prince, the subject of which was known to
themselves alone."
If we pass now in review this long list of authorities, each
of whom relates the story of Swedenborg and the Queen in
his own way, we arrive at the conclusion that the real facts
of this occurrence are furnished by the accounts of Gen.
Tuxen (subdivision F), Mr. Springer (subdivision Q), and Count
Höpken (subdivision P).
* Swedenborg did not attend regularly at court, as appears from his
remark to Count Scheffer in subdivision F.
