The Liberals retained Dumfries, Cleveland, Mid-Derbyshire and High Peak. The last was the most important, as the swing in a highly marginal seat was kept down to under 1.2 per cent. 17.

Differing views of the Edwards case are taken in Grigg, Young Lloyd George, pp. 228-39 and George, Backbencher, pp. 207-37. George, My Brother, pp. 201-2 states that rumours about Lloyd George in The Bystander in July 1908 and People in January 1909 were reworkings of the Edwards affair. 30. See Grigg, Young Lloyd George, pp. 239-45 and People's Champion, pp. 127-9. But Grigg's evidence on other affairs is very thin, e.g. People's Champion, pp. 182-9. Even R. Lloyd George, Lloyd George (London: Frederick Muller, 1960), pp. 53-61 and 105-14 is notably vague about his father's love life. 31. Especially, R. Lloyd George, Lloyd George, pp. 221-6 on the highly improb­ able 'Churt Seraglio'. 32. B. Gilbert, 'David Lloyd George and the Great Marconi Scandal', Historical Research, LXII (1989), 295-317. 33. Some of these activities are detailed in George, Backbencher, pp. 280-2. Grigg, Young Lloyd George, pp. 172-97 first revealed the Patagonian fiasco. 34. G.
