Petherton's reply was prompt, personal and to the point:--

SIR,--Confound you and your entire staff! You ought all to be

interned. If George ever thinks of leaving me I trust it will not be

to marry one of your household. In the name of decency I must insist

on your taking strong action to end what is a positive scandal.

Faithfully yours,

FREDERICK PETHERTON.
