IF you lost a child in a grocery store among the cabbages and lentils, it would be understandably worrisome. If you lost the same in a large multi-level department store, it would be panic time. But if you lost an empire, as has happened during this monarch’s reign, how could you possibly excuse it, never mind celebrate it?
