London (West End / Downing Street / House of Commons orbit)ⓘ
HER DAYLikely in London for the weekend, moving in the usual Asquith/Venetia social circuit (theatre/opera and dinners), and/or quietly at a friend’s house where she could be in easy reach of Downing Street and the House.. Very likely exchanging letters and/or arranging a meeting with Asquith in connection with the ongoing political talk he habitually “shared with you” (Ireland/Home Rule strategy and other government business).
