This in the House of Lords is an offense punishable by a $2,500 fine. The Archbishop of Canterbury was seen at this point tensely bending forward with his hand cupped across his forehead as though earnestly praying for Lord Moray. Other peers physically dissuaded him from striking a match, led him out to be attended for several hours by a hastily summoned physician, had him taken home at I a. m. by friends...

Last week he rasped harshly in his hour of triumph at the Primate of All England: "I am bound to say that I am not able-and not for the first time-to follow the workings of that great mind!" C.

The King beat them to the draw by handing in his own resignation. On the day the King's abdication was to take place, the Prime Minister threw a bomb close enough to his carriage to make...
...Edward of Windsor as a doormat on which aspersions may be wiped was the risky game started by the Archbishop of Canterbury (TIME, Dec. 21), and up to play it last week stepped a great ceremonial official of the Court of St. James, the Garter Principal King of Arms, Sir Gerald Woods Wollaston. While reading a lecture on ceremonial to the Lyceum Club last week, Sir Gerald digressed to wipe Windsor with the charge that King Edward VIII unduly speeded up the funeral of his father King George V.
