HIS DAYHad an audience of the King.
Venetia Stanley
Londonⓘ
HER DAYProbably in London (weekday base), keeping social/club engagements and making herself available for a private meeting/drive with Asquith mid-week (he was trying to “come in the motor” for her on Wed 6 May).. Likely writing/receiving letters and arranging movements rather than doing any fixed public engagement (no newspaper trace; Asquith explicitly says he doesn’t know “how you are, & what you are doing, or when & where we shall meet” on 5 May).
