To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If he did read them, he made no comments. . . . His love of pleasure remained his ruling passion. He liked the excitement of the turf, from which, by the way, he made a very large income. He liked the frivol- ity of Continental watering-places. During those periods when treaties were being made with France and other Powers he, happening to be enjoying him- self abroad at the same time, was credited with being their real author, whereas it is really doubtful CALUMNIATING KING EDWARD 161 whether ...he even knew of their existence. Mr. Swift MacNeill, M. P. , used to wax frantic at the King going about negotiating treaties behind the backs of his responsible ministers. We now know how groundless were his fears. He certainly took no active part in the negotiations. " He cannot, 11 says Sir Sidney Lee, " be credited with broad diplo- matic views or the faculty for tactical negotiation. . . . To his unguarded utterances no real weight attached either at home or abroad. " Thus, whilst he was supposed to be labouring in the interests of peace, he was in the full " enjoyment of life under foreign skies quite unencumbered by the burden of diplomatic anxieties.
