And so ended the second day's debate. The next day the Lord-Treasurer, who, according to Davison, employed himself diligently as did also Walsingham and Hatton in dissuading the Queen from the violent measures which she had resolved upon, effected so much of a change as to procure the insertion of those qualifying clauses in Heneage's instructions which had been previously disallowed.
"Because," Heneage remarked, lighting another cigarette, "I happen to know that the Baroness is at present under the strictest police surveillance!" Wrayson started. Heneage's first statement had reassured him: his later one was simply terrifying. He stared at his visitor in dumb alarm. "I came to know of this in rather a curious way," Heneage continued.
"I am weary, Mr. Secretary," he plaintively exclaimed, "indeed I am weary; but neither of pains nor travail. My ill hap that I can please her Majesty no better hath quite discouraged me." He had recently, however as we have seen received some comfort, and he was still further encouraged, upon the eve of Heneage's departure, by receiving another affectionate epistle from the Queen.

It is the same affair; part and parcel of the same tangle." The Colonel was silent for a few moments. He seemed to be reflecting on Heneage's words. "I believe you are right," he said at last. "I should be curious to know, though, how you arrived at this decision." Heneage looked past him at Wrayson. "You should ask Wrayson," he said. But Wrayson had risen, and was sauntering towards the door.
Heneage, here, has an interesting theory." Wrayson looked across and found that his eyes met Heneage's. He was sitting a little in the background, with a newspaper in his hand, which he was, however, only affecting to read. He was taking note of every word of the conversation. He was obviously annoyed at the Colonel's reference to him, but he did his best to conceal it.
