P. Holland. GENERAL SIR EDWARD CECIL. 313 from Rotterdam, 1 shows he had "not left the country on August 30. The loss of his regiment must have been a great blow to Wimbledon, and, following as it did on the loss of his wife, and his failure to recover the losses he had sustained from his London house being burnt down, must have embittered the last days he spent in the Low Coun- tries. Wimbledon was not blessed with the apathetic nature of that man who, when he had suffered a threefold loss, ex...claimed : " I've lost my mistress, horse, and wife, And when I think on human life I'm glad it is no worse ; My mistress was lean and old, My wife was ugly and a scold I'm sorry for my horse. " No better proof could be given to show that no disgrace was attached to Lord Wimbledon's removal from the colonelcy of his regiment, than the fact that he was still allowed to retain command of his own foot company, 2 which he had commanded for so many years, and had taken such keen interest in. This company, hitherto known as " the Colonel's company, " was now styled " Viscount Wimbledon's company, " and though its com- mander never returned to Holland to assume command of it, it continued to bear his name.
