Chapter XLVIII: Epilogue

_Whitehall,
Friday._

_Strictly confidential._

DEAR BRANDON:

Your moving account of the proceedings at Wellwood Sanatorium was read
at the Cabinet meeting this afternoon and you will be glad to know
that the Lord Chamberlain is being advised to license the production
of the Play in this country. In the present state of the public mind
it is felt to be the best course to take. It is hoped that further
questions will not arise in the House, otherwise it may be impossible
to avoid an inquiry into all the circumstances of a most singular
case, and this, I think you will agree, would be undesirable just now
from every point of view.

Yours,
GEORGE SPEKE.
