In Kensington, Conroy was the only one besides the Duchess of Kent who dared to order Victoria around.
Although Arthur never witnessed it personally, he had heard from the whispers of the servants that Conroy had more than once lost his temper with Victoria.
Of course, Arthur didn't think Conroy was entirely wrong, as Victoria's childish behavior was sometimes excessive, fostered by the flattering palace servants and the important figures who regularly visited Kensington. When Victoria was a child, bishops would crawl on the carpet to play with her, and now, occasionally, a group of nobility would attend her lessons as observers.
Last week, during a visit to Kensington by some young ladies and their parents, Arthur witnessed an amusing little incident.
