His golf was neglected, and he had come near to a quarrel with one of his oldest friends for revoking twice in one evening's bridge. Whatever he did, wherever he went, his thoughts insisted on wandering to Golfney Place.
The Government prosecuted the papers which had advertised these meetings; some tribunals acquitted the responsible managers, others, and amongst them the Royal Court of Paris, condemned them, but to a very slight punishment, "for exciting hatred and contempt against the King's government, in having imputed to them the criminal intention either of levying taxes which had not been voted by the two Chambers, or of changing illegally the mode of election, or even of revoking the constitutional Charter which has been granted and confirmed in perpetuity, and which regulates the rights and duties of every public authority."
