Chapter Kay to Kensington of K by Brewer's Readers Handbook

Kenrick (Felix), the old foster-father of Caroline Dormer. His wife Judith was her nurse. Kenrick, an Irishman, clings to his mistress in all her misfortunes, and proves himself a most attached, disinterested, and faithful old servant.—Colman: The Heir-at-Law (1797).

Kensington, acco rding to Tickell’s fable, is so called from the fairy Kenna, daughter of king Oberon. The tale is that prince Albion was stolen by Milkah the fairy, and carried to Kensington. When 19 years old, he fell in love with Kenna; but Oberon was so angry at this engagement, that he drove Albion out of the garden, and compelled Kenna to marry Azuriel, a fairy from Holland Park. Albion laid his complaint before Neptune, who sent Oriel with a fairy army against Oberon. In this battle Albion was slain, and Neptune, in revenge, utterly destroyed the whole empire. The fairies, being dispersed, betook themselves to the hills and dales, the caves and mines. Kenna poured juice of the herb moly over the dead body of Albion, and the unhappy prince was changed thus into a snowdrop.—Tickell: Kensington Garden (died 1740)
