Last week His Majesty caused the Court Circular to appear one morning in such a manner that the first paragraph announced that Mrs. Simpson had arrived at Balmoral Castle while the second para graph said that the Duke & Duchess of York had opened the Royal Infirmary at Aberdeen. While Their Royal Highnesses were doing so. His Majesty, wearing a kilt and with a Scottish tarn o' shanter set jauntily over one ear, arrived at the Aberdeen railway station and greeted Mrs. Simpson as she alighted to be his guest...
