F.Rhys Davids, D.S.O., M.C._] One evening, during the King's stay at Cassel, I was working in my room about 7 o'clock, when a little scrap of paper was brought me on which was written, "I am dining downstairs .-- M. B." I went downstairs and there was Maurice Baring, and, with luck for me, alone. He was in his best form; for after dinner we went up to my room and sat by the open window and talked and talked. |
