With his usual taciturnity Monck, in the main, simply `now sat still'. He made no opening address to the parliament which he had called into being and offered that assembly no advice or guidance. However, and again as usual, he had a hand to play. Following his meeting with Grenville in midMarch he had received from Charles five letters dated from Breda on 4 April to be communicated to the President and Council of State and to Army officers, to the fleet, to the Speakers of the Commons and the Lords, and to the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Common Council of London; these letters were accompanied by a public Declaration.
With the disorder in London approaching uncontrollable proportions, on 24 December he surrendered the keys of the House to the Speaker with the observation `that the Lord had blasted them and spitt in their faces, and witnessed against their perfidiousnesse'. 38 The Return of the King 17 All this while, Lambert had been marooned in the north of England, unable to risk leaving the road south open to Monck and unable to influence events in London while his situation grew ever more desperate. Spread thinly throughout Northumberland in search of shelter, afflicted by bitterly cold weather and heavy snow, ill-provisioned and unpaid, morale in his Army steadily declined.
In Ireland, whence Ludlow had returned to London on hearing of Lambert's action, the commanders Sir Charles Coote and Sir Hardress Waller declared for the Rump. Meanwhile, Haslerig, Scot, Ashley Cooper and five other members of the superseded Council of State continued to meet in secret, working against the Committee of Safety and the Wallingford House group. They entered into negotiations with Monck, issued pamphlets, and hatched a plot to seize the Tower of London. 37 In this extremity, the inability of the Committee of Safety and the General Council of Officers to agree upon a constitutional settlement was fatal.
