It must be said in extenuation that she was of the bluest blood, so blue indeed that in comparison to it the sapphire would fade and grow pale; and so aristocratic and ancient was her royal lineage that the parchment on which the names of her ancestors were duly recorded would easily have stretched across the peninsula from Mount Davalaghiri to Cape Comorin, and with a little tugging might easily have reached over to Ceylon as far as Adam’s Peak.
