Seriously—if a serious word on such'a BubJ9Ct is m place—l think that Mr Miller, Mr Arnold, and Mr Barclay have made themselves supremely ridiculous ; and, unless I am much mistaken, the very people I they imagine they are flattering think | precisely as I do. If there is anything m 1 the recent knighthoods that one may deeply regret ' it ia the narrow eoulad vindictive* ness that had excluded from the list of honour men whose services to the country best entitle them to be there.
