Brockington was to speak: "I thought I had made it clear to Kathleen and yourself that I not only would have liked you both to be present to hear Mr. Brockington speak, but that I would be happy to make that part of the proceeding ムmy treat'. King describes the speech [about William Lyon Mackenzie] in superlatives.
