There never was a time when the country was more loyal. The penny
whistle of republicanism which tried to blow its notes some time ago
has, I believe, burst itself, for it found no sympathetic echo in the
heart of the nation. I believe there is no harder worked man in the
United Kingdom than the Prince of Wales. From morning to night he is
at the beck and call of somebody or other, and we always find him
ready to respond to the calls made upon him.
