At a quarter to eleven he was in the glazed conservatory built over the monumental portico , with Sir Paul Spinner . He could see down into the Square , which was filled with the splendid and numerous automobiles incident to his wife 's reception . Guests -- and not the least important among them -- were still arriving . Cars rolled up to the portico , gorgeous women and plain men jumped out on to the red cloth , of which he could just see the extremity near the kerb , and vanished under him , and the cars hid themselves away in the depths of the Square .
