Excerpt from Randolph Spencer-Churchill, as a Product of His Age: Being a Personal and Political Monograph Urin G the greater part of Lord Randolph Churchill's public course, the circumstances of my life as an industrious article-writer on the daily and weekly press, established frequent points of contact between him and myself, which gradually expanded into a mutual acquaintance of a rather intimate kind. Throughout all the period now referred to, especially at the time when a failure in my physical health, after twenty years of overwork, temporarily disabled me from my professional duties, I, and those bearing my name, received from Lord Randolph, as from other members of his house, many marks of courteous regard and sympathetic attention.
