The President and his Congress leaders agreed to revive Franklin Roosevelt's old custom of conferring at the White House once a week, at Roosevelt's old hour-Mondays...

In this chapter, Errol is knee-deep in the intrigues of the Spanish court of Philip III and neck-deep in its lavish costumes. He is also once again a rascal with a 14-karat heart and a 1-karat mind. His intentions are high, true and gallant. His planning could at best be called faulty; it usually ends with Errol on the cold side of the dungeon walls and the villains holding the keys...
