Louis Wain Fact #66:
"Wain was well-acquainted with British royalty, often being commissioned to do drawings of the pets belonging to Duchesses (such as Mary Russell, Duchess of Bedford), Princesses (such as Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein [her cat ""Nobat"" pictured]), and even the Queen Alexandria."

And the branches are rustling a murmurous rune,
The Owls sit in council, like prophets of Fate,
Discussing grave questions of Kingdom and State.
They wink and they blink, and they blink and they wink,
Till midnight grows black and commands them to flit
With a “Shoo! To-whoo!” and a “Whirr! Tu-whit!”
