His treatment of Mr.Ritchie and Lord George Hamilton was very bad.

Then there was the case of Joseph Chamberlain, who had good reason never to forgive him.

Some day Mr.
Asquith (or will it be Mrs.Asquith) may tell the story of dealings with Mr.Balfour which were not of a handsome character.

The more these things are revealed the worse I think it will be for Mr.Balfour's character.
But such is the personal effect of the man that even those whom he has treated badly never bring any public charge against him.

With the exception of Mr.Asquith, and Joseph Chamberlain, all forgave him, and even sought to find excuses for his inexplicable lapse.
