which the Regency seeks to rally the people.
Things arrange themselves as if he was not ex-
pected TO resume his power; as If testing how he
may be dispensed with altogether. The only
question is who shall first utter the word ..abdi-
cation"

there were no yidettes to watch no skirmishers
to meet, and no plan to repel.'
