The Queen of England: Coronation (Drabbles)

41. a hole under a fence

Of all the ways a coronation day was to go, this was almost certainly among the furthest from the realm of the possible.  And yet, here I was.  Soaked, devastated, but still breathing.  Walking just off the road, I began to despair that no viable option would present itself when a fence appeared in the distance.  Walking towards the weathered timber, I noted it was too tall to climb until I came to a small hole.  Certainly Queens of England did not go shuffling themselves in yards of silk underneath strange fences, but these were the most desperate of times.
