Landon, Letitia Elizabeth (1838). "review". The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction, 1838. J. Limbird, Strand. How do we know that "We Are Not Amused!" works?

Victoria was pleased when Gladstone resigned in 1885 after his budget was defeated. [173] She thought his government was "the worst I have ever had", and blamed him for the death of General Gordon at Khartoum. [174] Gladstone was replaced by Lord Salisbury. Salisbury's government only lasted a few months, however, and Victoria was forced to recall Gladstone, whom she referred to as a "half crazy & really in many ways ridiculous old man". [175] Gladstone attempted to pass a bill granting Ireland home rule, but to Victoria's glee it was defeated. [176] In the ensuing election, Gladstone's party lost to Salisbury's and the government switched hands again.

Russell's ministry, though Whig, was not favoured by the Queen. [94] She found particularly offensive the Foreign Secretary, Lord Palmerston, who often acted without consulting the Cabinet, the Prime Minister, or the Queen. [95] Victoria complained to Russell that Palmerston sent official dispatches to foreign leaders without her knowledge, but Palmerston was retained in office and continued to act on his own initiative, despite her repeated remonstrances. It was only in 1851 that Palmerston was removed after he announced the British government's approval of President Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte's coup in France without consulting the Prime Minister. [96] The following year, President Bonaparte was declared Emperor NapoleonIII, by which time Russell's administration had been replaced by a short-lived minority government led by Lord Derby. [97] Albert, Victoria and their nine children, 1857.

Victoria noted the coincidence of the dates as "almost incredible and most mysterious". [154] In May 1879, she became a great-grandmother (on the birth of Princess Feodora of Saxe-Meiningen) and passed her "poor old 60th birthday". She felt "aged" by "the loss of my beloved child". [155] Victoria’s other significant contribution to the quotation books was “I will be good,” said as a young girl when told where she stood in the line of royal succession. Snappy, eh? The Straight Dope research department is glad Victoria alphabetically comes immediately before Gore Vidal, who, upon being asked what might have happened if Khrushchev and not Kennedy had been assassinated in 1963, said, “With history one can never be certain, but I think I can safely say that Aristotle Onassis would not have married Mrs. Khrushchev.” Were Victoria alive today, even she would have been amused.

Reddit says a it fires on 1.2. The weird thing is, I've seen people report it won't work on all versions. But I've seen people get the achievement to trigger on all versions. So I have no idea why it's not triggering, especially if you just cheese the achievement and load a GB game just for doing the achievement. There is a tale of the unfortunate equerry who ventured during dinner at Windsor to tell a story with a spice of scandal or impropriety in it.

Whether the queen caused the period, or the period creates the queen, she fitted her time perfectly. a b c d e f g h i j Matthew, H. C. G.; Reynolds, K. D.

Another great—far greater—event now occupied the mind of the "man in the street": the illness and subsequent death of Queen Victoria. The "man in the street" certainly took a great interest in that event which filled us and our English friends with sorrow. It was such a great passing away of the most outstanding personality of the past hundred years. The morning that the news appeared in the Paris Daily Mail we were greeted by all our friendly tradespeople with subdued voices and a certain awed expression of face: " Vous savez?" they all said, even before they answered to our " bonjour" " Votre idole est morte". Your idol! That is how they talked of Queen Victoria. Disraeli (1929)". British Film Institute. Archived from the original on 2 October 2016 . Retrieved 22 September 2016.

[166] John Brown died 10 days after her accident, and to the consternation of her private secretary, Sir Henry Ponsonby, Victoria began work on a eulogistic biography of Brown. [167] Ponsonby and Randall Davidson, Dean of Windsor, who had both seen early drafts, advised Victoria against publication, on the grounds that it would stoke the rumours of a love affair. [168] The manuscript was destroyed. [169] In early 1884, Victoria did publish More Leaves from a Journal of a Life in the Highlands, a sequel to her earlier book, which she dedicated to her "devoted personal attendant and faithful friend John Brown". [170] On the day after the first anniversary of Brown's death, Victoria was informed by telegram that her youngest son, Leopold, had died in Cannes. He was "the dearest of my dear sons", she lamented. [171] The following month, Victoria's youngest child, Beatrice, met and fell in love with Prince Henry of Battenberg at the wedding of Victoria's granddaughter Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine to Henry's brother Prince Louis of Battenberg. Beatrice and Henry planned to marry, but Victoria opposed the match at first, wishing to keep Beatrice at home to act as her companion. After a year, she was won around to the marriage by their promise to remain living with and attending her. [172] Extent of the British Empire in 1898 Adelaide – Statues and Memorials".
