    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 In 1908, Maud Allan, a dancer, performed her sensational dance in Downing Street at the invitation of her friend Margot Asquith, who was Prime Minister at the time. It seemed that nothing could ever change the way the British Empire was ruled.

    #2 The government was led by the Prime Minister, Herbert Henry Asquith, who had helped to bring about some of these changes, but would in turn be their victim. The three most important members of the government were the Prime Minister’s two Private Secretaries, Maurice Bonham Carter and Edwin Montagu, and his daughter Violet’s best friend, the Hon. Venetia Stanley.

    #3 The Prime Minister’s residence, Downing Street, was not as secure as it seems. The front door was not locked, and anyone could simply walk in. The Prime Minister’s wife, Margot Tennant, recorded in her diary that she never knew what prevented anyone from coming into the house.

    #4 Winston Churchill, who was President of the Board of Trade in the Asquith government, described Margot’s husband as a simple-minded man, very ingenuous, but he has a wonderful talent for work.
