A young man named Davis, a gardener, was attracted by her cries, got a ladder, and brought bar down in safety. Deeply grateful, she opened her purse and presented him with a guinea. Davis framed It. and ever since has been proud to tel! the tale, and show the piece of gold that the Queen gave him so many years ago.
