PART 10
Part 9 told how from the first day of the war in 1914 the cry went up: Hunt out the Germans in our midst,' and it had only to be suggested that someone had German blood or German sympathies for a witch-hunt to be started. In 1917, while travelling from Wiltshire, Margot Asquith had a chance meeting in the train with an American actress who, unaware of Mrs. Asquith's identity, proceeded to run down Mr. Asquith. On discovering with whom she was talking, the American lady was horrified; and at her request, Mrs. Asquith took her to Cavendish Square where she met Mr. Asquith.
