and would arrive at the house, when King
Edward having left it had become again
an embassy accredited to the king Of Italy.
II is, therefore, suggested tina. King Ed

TO the British embassy followed closely by
Cardinal Rampolla, who would arrive while
the king was still there. The objection to
this course is that It would create a prece-
