The Cavendishes have always been
noted for their taciturnity, as an old
anecdote testifies. The seventh duke

It is on record that soon after his ac-
cession to the dukedom he was posting
down to a remote part Of Yorkshire
accompanied by his brother. Lord
George Cavendish. They were unex-
pectedly stopped on the way and
obliged to put up for the night alta

bed?" Yes, George" came the terse
reply. There was no further remark.
