Explore "A Change in the Cabinet" by Hilaire Belloc on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The Petheringtons' house, to which Mary Smith drove on the evening of / 12th of April, under the two pretty little electric lights of her car, / one for either side of her face, was one of a hundred similar London / houses, a huge brown cube in the middle of Grosvenor Square.
It was no longer called Petherington House; it had once again regained / its more familiar appellation of No. 89, under which it had been / famous for the complete lack of entertainment of any sort which had / distinguished the short session of 1912. Then old Hooker had died, the / changes in the Cabinet had come, Hooker's wife had married the Bishop / and also died immediately, and finally the Petheringtons had taken the / place, foolishly called it by their own title for a few months, and / finding it unknown to cabmen and to their friends' chauffeurs also / under this appellation, they slowly reverted to the old name.
