Ladies Of the Household will remain and il will be
hard il we cannot still govern the Queen and the
country through them" "Of course" said Lord
John, and they separated till noon.
At the palace all was anxiety and uneasiness. The
ladies of the Queens suite were politicians enough To
know that their relatives would resign, and the
grand question was whether they were TO follow
suit. The Marchioness of Tavistock the first
who broke the ice On meeting the Queen that
morning, after the usual salutatons she observed,
