The ministers cannot consider the match at all and inform the queen that she must marry a man of her own rank. She refuses and clings to Jim. Angered by their refusal to accept him, she says she will return to America and no pleading can alter her decision. But when all preparations are made, she stops to listen to the voice of the people and realizes for the first time that they are her people and they need her, so she agrees to remain and all objection to Jim is revoked.
