This. was the part of, the casethat hung the heaviest on the Princess's mind. . . .

They might have told the destination of the drive:s and the 'object of them. The affidavit of Mills would skew . the insidious pains that were taken to diseover something upon which to found eha'ege. The truth Was, that upon two occa sions of• her driving tO Belvidere, accompanied by Fit7gerald, Cipt.
