to occupy the painted chamber, now the House of
Lords) to witness the passage of the Sovereign into
the House. Seats in the gallery were occupied al
very early hour in the morning.
Soon after eleven o'clock the Peeresses began to
arrive in considerable numbers, and al twelve ocock

Palace approached, the assemblage OF people along
