Printed in Great Britain by Butler & Tanner, Frome and London

1. Meaning, of course, the Five Years’ War.

2. Miss Linthorpe’s record did not seem so extraordinary then as it would now; even as late as the fifties I remember a few young men of thirty or thirty-five who had still some of their own teeth left.

3. Previously Baroness Engelberg, nÉe Hopkins.

4. Previously Mrs. Sholto, previously Baroness Engelberg, nÉe Hopkins.

5. Previously Mrs. Drake, previously Mrs. Sholto, previously Baroness Engelberg, nÉe Hopkins.

6. Curiously enough, this hymn was written by a lady who afterwards became a Catholic, early in the century.

7. This was Augustus Hemmerde, afterwards famous as a dramatist.

8. This, it will be remembered, actually happened, and the raising of the premium to £7,500 was one of the chief counts against the Tory Party.

9. My father always used to speak of this as “the Coalition Government.” The name Cabal was invented by later historians to distinguish it from the 1974 Coalition; the names that suggested it were those of Churchill, Arthur (Balfour), Birkenhead, Austen (Chamberlain) and Lloyd (George).

10. The records are, however, somewhat scratched as the result of the fire at Cippenham in ’73.

11. Previously Lady Lushcombe, previously Mrs. Drake, previously Mrs. Sholto, previously Baroness Engelberg, nÉe Hopkins.

12. The boys did not get any fees at all for staying at the school during the holidays, which, as it was against the rules, they nearly always did.

13. Previously Lady Stockdale, previously Lady Lushcombe, previously Mrs. Drake, previously Mrs. Sholto, previously Baroness Engelberg, nÉe Hopkins.

14. Previously Mrs. Tarporley, previously Mme de Brignard, previously Lady Stockdale, previously Lady Lushcombe, previously Mrs. Drake, previously Mrs. Sholto, previously Baroness Engelberg, nÉe Hopkins.

15. The title distinguishes him from the Ecumenical Bishop of Norwich, Dr. Bridler.

16. Previously Lady Travers-Grant, previously Mrs. Tarporley, previously Mme. de Brignard, previously Lady Stockdale, previously Lady Lushcombe, previously Mrs. Drake, previously Mrs. Sholto, previously Baroness Engelberg, nÉe Hopkins.

17. ap. Baring, Collected Works, Vol. IV, p. 231. The attribution of the lines to Wordsworth is now generally discredited.
