"My husband's ancestors sat in the House of Lords for six hundred years.

My son sits there now--a dummy.
They have taken all power from the Lords; they are taxing us out of our lands; they are saving the monarchy for destruction last.

England is of the past--all is going.

God knows what is coming.".
