The sting of my wrongs may have driven me to unjust and harmful conclusions, but it surely seemed to me that the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Treasury, and others of my confreres had conspired from the very beginning to drive me from the Administration.

I never attended but one Cabinet meeting while I was connected with the government.

That was sufficient for me.

The servant at the White House door did not seem disposed to make way for me until I asked if the other members of the Cabinet had arrived.

He said they had, and I entered.
