Anonymous Quotes
The Taster To His Highness The Prince Of Wales Was There Also, Prepared To Taste Any Suspicious Dish Upon Requirement, And Run The Risk Of Being Poisoned. He Was Only An Ornamental Appendage At This Time, And Was Seldom Called Upon To Exercise His Function; But There Had Been Times, Not Many Generations Past, When The Office Of Taster Had Its Perils, And Was Not A Grandeur To Be Desired. Why They Did Not Use A Dog Or A Plumber Seems Strange; But All The Ways Of Royalty Are Strange.
