The Seer

---

Soon after Queen Victoria bought Balmoral Castle on Scotland’s river Dee, she spent one Sunday afternoon being rowed on the river. A woman who believed in the strict observance of the Sabbath said to her minister, “Isn’t it dreadful!” “What’s dreadful?” asked the minister. “The Queen’s rowing on the river on the Sabbath,” said the irate woman. The minister reminded her that Jesus was on the Sea of Galilee on the Sabbath. “Two wrongs,” said the woman, “don’t make a right.”
