Lord Ickenham much in demand

So many problems had presented themselves, coming up one after the other. It was never his habit to grumble and make a fuss when this happened, but he did sometimes, as now, feel that the life work he had set himself of spreading sweetness and light - or, as some preferred to put it, meddling in other people's business - was almost more than any man could be expected to undertake singlehanded.
