Pall Mall derives its name from an athletic game once very popular in England, called pall mall. It consisted of a ball being driven through an iron ring with a mallet that struck the hall. The game was played in the neighbourhood of St. James' Park in the time of Charles 11., on the street running along the side of this park, later called Pall Mall. Queen Amelia is in good circumstances, for her marriage portion was 3,000,000 francs, and she inherited over 8,000,000 francs from her mother, the Comta de Paris. The whole of her fortune has always been safely invested outside Portugal. Queen Amelia was a beneficiary under the will of the Due d'Aumale, and she will some day inherit another considerable fortune from her mother, the Comtesse de Paris, who is enormously rich.
