"This is a moment when the sympathies of every man and woman, not only in England but I believe throughout the friendly nations of Europe, will go out to the sovereign who is now under the most grievous stresses, both public and private.

"This is a toast which will be assented to with every cordiality in an Anglo-French gathering because the king of England fought during the long war in defense of the soil of France.
