Harding at any rate found it intolerable . * * * * * Meanwhile , in spite of newspapers to right of it and newspapers to left of it , the political coach clattered on . The following day -- Monday -- was a day of early arrivals , packed benches , and much excitement in the House of Commons ; for the division on the second reading was to be taken after the Home Secretary 's reply on the debate . Dowson was expected to get up about ten o'clock , and it was thought that the division would be over by eleven . On this afternoon and evening Fontenoy was ubiquitous . At least so it seemed to Tressady . Whenever one put one 's head into the Smoking-room or the Library , whenever one passed through the Lobby , or rushed on to the Terrace for ten minutes ' fresh air , Fontenoy 's great brow and rugged face were always to be seen , and always in fresh company .
