*The narrow entry and exit gates still exist outside Cambridge House, now 94 Piccadilly. From 1866 until 1999, Cambridge House housed the Naval and Military Club, familiarly known as the “In and Out Club” because of the markings on these two gates.

*Seventeen years later, Victoria told Home Secretary Gathorne Gathorne-Hardy, after complaining about Pate’s attack, “firearms she had not minded, as if they missed there was nothing to trouble you, and a moving carriage prevented a good aim” (Gathorne-Hardy 1:244).

*Within two months, Palmerston had his revenge on Russell, moving to attach an amendment which the government opposed to a bill; the amendment passed and Russell resigned the next day. “I have had my tit-for-tat with John Russell,” Palmerston wrote (St. Aubyn 255).

*An amendment, moving the abandonment of the Hyde Park site altogether, fell nearly as badly: 47 for and 166 against.

*Yet another distraction of attention from Pate had occurred three days before: the Duke of Cambridge had finally died on 8 July, throwing Court and polite society into full mourning.
