"Although the present condition is mild and is expected to be transitory in nature," said the doctors' statement, "it will require a period of rest and substantially decreased activity estimated at several weeks."

As the slow mass-movement of Britain's lords temporal and spiritual to one or the other side of their august chamber was completed, the not-contents outnumbered their opponents by 238 to 95.
