ment. Alice`s brother is an M. P. and he got 2 tickets for the Stra
ngers` Gallery.
Alice and Mary arrived at half past eleven. Alice` s brother met them at the entrance to the Victoria Tower. He took them first to
the House of Lords. There they saw the Throne on which the Queen sits when she opens the session of Parliament. Then there was the House of Commons where they saw the Speaker`s Chair where the Speaker usually sits. Then he took the girls to the Stra
ngers` Gallery. Then he went to the House of Commons which
was going to sit in a few minutes.
Alice and Mary listened to the debate until late in the afternoon.
When the debate was over, Mr. Bromhead found them. Mary tha
nked him for enjoyable visit.
