Mason decided they had to report the morning’s events to the home secretary Lord Sidmouth as soon as possible. Sidmouth had taken the lease on a house along the Grand Parade, opposite the Royal Pavilion and much sought after. Unfortunately, the clerk left in charge informed them that his lordship was on board the HMY Royal George with the Prince. After being briefed by Mason, the clerk, who knew his master only too well, decided that the matter was of the utmost importance and that they must go to the ship immediately, and started to set the wheels in motion.
