On the night of the Queen's Jubilee in June, 1887, Mr. Blaine and I were to dine at Lord Wolverton's in Piccadilly, to meet Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone--Mr. Blaine's first introduction to him. We started in a cab from the Metropole Hotel in good time, but the crowds were so dense that the cab had to be abandoned in the middle of St. James's Street. Reaching the pavement, Mr. Blaine following, I found a policeman and explained to him who my companion was, where we were going, and asked him if he could not undertake to get us there. He did so, pushing his way through the masses with all the authority of his office and we followed. But it was nine o'clock before we reached Lord Wolverton's. We separated after eleven.

白话
1887年6月女王登基五十周年庆典之夜，卡内基和布莱恩先生原定在皮卡迪利大街的沃弗顿勋爵家与格莱斯顿夫妇共进晚餐，这是布莱恩首次见格莱斯顿。他们从大都会酒店乘马车提前出发，但人群太密集，马车在圣詹姆斯街中段被迫放弃。他们步行到人行道，卡内基找到一名警察，说明同伴身份和目的地，请求帮助。警察以职务权威推开人群，他们紧随其后，但到达时已九点。十一点后他们才离开。
