im there and said it was
all right. The Gladstones then went to Cliveden and he purposely did
not return till late, twelve o'clock on Monday night, in order that
Palmerston might make his speech as he pleased. I doubt the policy
of his absence. It of course excited much remark, and does not in
any way protect Gladstone. M. Gibson was also absent."--_Phillimore
Diary_, July 23. In his diary Mr. Gladstone records: "_July
21._--Cabinet 3 1/2-5 1/4. I left it that the discussion might be free
and went to Stafford House and Sydenham. There I saw, later, Argyll
and S. Herbert, who seemed to bring good news. At night we went off
to Cliveden."

forces he counts the Suez canal.
