UNITED STATES AND CANADA 97 



On the 28th there was another large dinner of 

 some thirty people at Government House, and the 

 next day we took leave of our kind host and hostess 

 with many regrets, and departed in His Excellency's 

 car, with a French chef '* on board," for Toronto. 

 It was one of the most enjoyable weeks I think I 

 ever spent, and it was quite painful to have to say 

 good-bye to everybody. Happily, however, we were 

 all spared to meet again " many a time and oft " in 

 the *' Old Country/' The car above alluded to was 

 called ^* The Cumberland," and was utilised by the 

 Governor-General on official tours through the 

 Dominion. It was an imposing-looking convey- 

 ance with a sort of Swiss cottage roof.
