What's Gumby Reading?

"He lived with his Ministers as he did with his Mistresses: he used them, but he was not in love with them. They were to administer Business to him as Doctors do physic, wrap it up in something to make it less unpleasant."

The Hollow Crown: The Fall and Foibles of the Kings and Queens of England, John Barton
