This I did because I had discovered some soreness at restrictions which had been placed on the attendance of German military officers at maneuvers in England, and I had found that there had been some reprisals. I did not refer to these, but said that I had the authority of the sovereign to give assistance to German officers who were sent over to the maneuvers to study them.
Marietta shrugged her shoulders, and waved her hands. "Then tell him, please, to go and put the necessary touches to his toilet," said Peter. "Meanwhile I'll indite the letter." When his letter was indited, he found the piratical-looking Gigi in attendance, and he gave it to him, with instructions.
It may be, that we do not really want the attendance of any one, or can just as well wait until some errand has brought her up stairs. Then, there are various little things in which we can help ourselves and ought to do it.
He then explained how Langston had been present when she was brought home, and had afterwards made communications to the Queen of Scots that led to the girl, already in attendance on her, being claimed and recognised; after which he confessed that he had not the heart to do what might separate the mother and daughter by declaring their relationship.
"But whither will she go, and who will watch over her?" "That is not yet settled," rejoined Hodges. "Oh! that I might be permitted to undertake the office!" cried Leonard, passionately. "Restrain yourself," said Hodges, in a tone of slight rebuke. "Fitting attendance will be found, if needed." The conversation then dropped, and they walked briskly forward.
The National Republican thus describes one session: The attendance yesterday morning clearly demonstrated that the woman's movement has received an immense addition in numbers, quality and earnestness....

Sometimes, when the business was merely formal, the number sank to 4 or 5; and I do not think the Lords Journals register, during the whole time with which we are now concerned, a larger attendance than 22. When a "whip" was necessary, between 200 and 300 could be got together. Hist.

Heatherlegh has been indefatigable in his attendance on me; and only yesterday told me that I ought to send in an application for sick leave. An application to escape the company of a phantom! A request that the Government would graciously permit me to get rid of five ghosts and an airy 'rickshaw by going to England. Heatherlegh's proposition moved me to almost hysterical laughter.
