A. Oh, splendid! Nearly thirty thousand men all marching past.
Q. And the Review at Aldershot?
A. Magnificent! Nearly seventy thousand men marching past.
Q. Did they all pass you?
A. Yes, all. They took three hours or more in doing it. They were all alike. Seventy thousand men, all alike, for three hours. It was deeply interesting.
Q. Did you see the Queen?
A. I saw where she was, but Her Majesty was concealed from view by the Long Valley dust.
Q. Did you go to the Lincoln's Inn Garden Party?
A. To meet Lord Herschell, his friends, and the Prince and Princess? Certainly. It differed from other Garden Parties in having in the grounds a sort of bath containing a fountain, ducks, and (to the best of my belief) turtles.
Q. Have you been to many Garden Parties?
