hurled an armful of pamphlets from
the gallery.
The members of the House looked
up in alarm at the cloudburst of lit

open mouthed the suffrage adherent
threw a bomb" at Mr.. Asquith. The
missile missed its mark but struck a
parliamentary clerk in the face. He
fell to the floor and arose like ghost.
A member sitting near the minis

deluge of flour.
