Lord Esher in his younger days, when Mr. Baliol Brett, was one of the most fashionable young men about town, and the most casual observer recognizes in him a type of the old time grandee. Sir Charles Hall and Sir Henry James are among the Prince of Wales's most intimate friends. The British Empire Club, which I have described before in
