Note 68 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
According to another version of the story, given by Falckenskjold and the "Authentische Aufklärungen," the queen fainted after writing the first syllable, Carol——. Schack Rathlau seized the queen's hand, forced the fallen pen into it, and guiding it, added the missing syllables ine Matilda. This statement, however, is highly improbable, and nowhere confirmed by the queen.
