Restoration politics and a London post letter on Lane pension
A reader laments the pension stoppage for Lane during a late reign, arguing the current sovereign would restore it if properly informed. The piece rails at ingratitude and notes how Restoration events could have altered the throne’s fate, then shifts to a cheap broth method and a social column dialogue about Lady Razor-face and a mock wedding at Ranelagh, ending with gossipy banter among two ladies at a visit.
