They work hard to get the young Queen's apartments ready for her reception; all her servants are named, and the King expects her with the greatest impatience. The Buen Retiro is a royal house near one of the gates of the city; the Count Duke caused at first a small house to be built there, and called it Galinera; it was for keeping his fine poultry in, which had been present...
