Below stairs, Royal scullery, parlor and chamber maids made no secret of their voting intentions as they hustled into bonnet and wrap, groped in a body out the fogbound back gate. Two footmen, the Palace womenfolk considered, were the only possible waverers. They had expressed Socialist opinions at the height of a servants' ball last year, but not since.

From its wireless room came stronger and stronger appeals to the Mahatma to drop his immediate grievance, represent his 270,000,000 Hindus at the Round Table. During the feverish last hours of the British Government which fell fortnight ago. William Wedgwood Benn, Secretary of State for India, insisted that Viceroy Willingdon meet with and conciliate the Mahatma.
