Also included is material relevant to the background of the Scandal, including a transcript of The Pleasaunce Visitors Book.For anyone with a fascination for the story, this 606 page volume, including 50 pages of photographs, provides additional illuminating context for that once-hidden story of 1902, and the lives it changed forever.This is the revised and expanded Third Edition.PART I SUSPECTS: Viscount Esher The Earl of Rosebery Alfred de Rothschild The Duke of Argyll Quintin Hogg Lord Ronald Gower Hugh Weguelin Albert Stopford Geoffry Wheatly Cobb Ernest Crawley Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Collins Sir Robert Collins The Hon.
