Dorothy rode my bike stridelegs coming back, so that I could sit in the dog-cart. She said she'd get a jolly wigging if she was seen. We shan't know till Monday. You know, Mummy, that kid Ronny's having a rotten time, what with Bartie being such a beast and Vera chumming up with Ferdie and going off to country houses where he is.

It was quite useless. Palmerston was most apologetic could not understand how it had occurred must give the clerks a wigging certainly Her Majesty's wishes should be attended to, and such a thing should never happen again.
