Shortly before two o'clock un May 4. the Duke of Windsor's car drove through the gates of the Chateau de Conde, where Mrs. Simpson has been staying for the last two months, writes the Tours | correspondent of the "Daily Tele-
graph."
He had travelled 750 miles, by car and train, from Austala In just under 24 hours. The Arlberg ex- press, in which he travelled from Salzburg was stopped for
bim at Verneuil, near Paris.. Then escort-
ed by relays of French mobile guards, he drove for three and a half hours to the chateau
Only the host. Mr. Bedaux, and Mr. and Mm. Herman Rogers, friends of Mrs, Simpson, were on the lawn to welcome their Royal guest. Mrs. Simpson remained in- doors, and the Duke met her in the blue and gold drawing room of the chateau.
Then, after pausing a few mo- ments to exchange greetings with his host and friends, he hastily entered the chateau.
He will, I am informed, remain at Chateau de Cande as the guest of Mr. Bedaux for several days. Afterwards he will take over the lease of a small castle in the neigh- bourhood and will remain there until his marriage. The Royal engagement, I learn, will be of- fcially announced in a few days.
Capt Greenacre; who has been acting as temporary equerry, in formed me this evening that he is returning to London to-night.. Mr. Dudley Forward, the Duke's equerry, is expected at the Chateau de Cande to-night.
