In the blink of an eye, Christmas of 1934 had passed, and the year had advanced to 1935.
The new year did not bring good news for Arthur, as Princess Louise's health declined more and more, to the point where she could no longer stand on her own.

Arthur had no desire to explain the reasons to these officers, and those who knew did not spread the word.
