Dorothy Barker reflects on Ottawa Spring Festival and a Royal visit at Rideau Hall. She recalls curtsies to Governor General and Madame Vanier, the awkwardness of stiff knees and faltering balance, and a World War II encounter with Princess Alice as YWCA crafts aid at a secret station. The memory ties tulip displays to royal protocol and personal moments with Edward VIII and a popular era of Canadian history.
